Against waiting or paying in Canada

We have not found an official waiting-time figure for an IVF cycle in Canada.

Paying privately in Canada: C$9,000–C$13,500, from TRIO Fertility and CReATe Fertility Centre.

Can your provincial plan pay?

Ask your provincial health plan before you book. We have not reviewed provincial rules for planned care abroad yet, and they differ by province.

Planning the trip from Canada

Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for an IVF cycle and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
Before you goCheck what your home health service funds first. NICE in England recommends up to three cycles under 40, but local health boards decide, and the HSE in Ireland funds one round for eligible couples.
Before you goAsk the clinic for a written plan with dates, medicines and every fee, and agree how embryos are stored if you do not use them all.
Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca).
LanguagePolish; private clinics in big cities often have English-speaking staff, public hospitals less often.
After you returnTell your GP if you are pregnant after treatment abroad, with the clinic’s report on the transfer.
After you returnSevere tummy pain, swelling or breathlessness after egg collection can be a reaction to the hormones and needs urgent care.
