Toronto surrogacy & gestational carrier clinics
For medical indications, same-sex male couples, and single fathers by choice.
Gestational carrier cycles in Canada operate under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act — commercial surrogacy is prohibited, but altruistic surrogacy with reimbursement of carrier expenses is allowed. The Toronto fertility clinics with experienced surrogacy programs handle the clinical IVF cycle for intended parents, coordinate the embryo transfer to the gestational carrier, and work with reproductive law specialists on the carrier agreement. The clinical work is well-understood; the legal and logistical coordination — which often spans provinces — is the operational complexity.
Inclusion: clinic publishes gestational carrier or surrogacy coordination. Last verified May 2026.

How to pick a Toronto surrogacy clinic
Legal coordination is the headline factor. Surrogacy requires a gestational carrier agreement drafted by a reproductive law specialist before clinical procedures begin.
Multi-province coordination matters — many carriers live in different provinces from intended parents. Clinics with experience across provinces handle this smoothly.
Counseling and screening for both intended parents and gestational carriers is required by most clinics and is often the longest part of the timeline.
- How do you coordinate the legal aspects?
- Which surrogacy lawyer or agency do you work with?
- What's the typical timeline from intake to transfer?
- How do you handle a carrier's monitoring if they live in another province?
- What's the all-in cost?
