Egg Freezing Cost in Canada

Egg freezing cost in Canada runs CAD $7,000 to $11,000 per cycle, with medication on top. Coverage depends on your province. If you come from the US, think about the exchange rate, the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, and how your medical follow-up will work once you are home.

How each province covers costs

Ontario’s approach

Each patient receives funding from Ontario Fertility Program for one IVF cycle that includes egg retrieval. Coverage does not extend to elective freezing of eggs for age-related reasons. Patients typically pay out of pocket for stimulation medications, as the OFP does not cover them. Clinical eligibility determines whether patients can access medically necessary egg freezing through provincial pathways.

Quebec’s program

Through Bill 73, Quebec re-introduced public fertility funding in 2021. The program includes a partial IVF cycle and preservation-adjacent services. Clinical indication decides if egg freezing is covered.

British Columbia’s rules

BC does not pay for elective egg freezing. The province plans to fund IVF soon, but as of June 2026, there is no egg freezing program. Patients pay themselves or use work benefits.

Alberta’s policies

Some private employer benefit plans in Alberta include fertility coverage. But the province does not publicly fund elective egg freezing. Major clinics in Calgary and Edmonton publish their private-pay pricing.

What Canada’s top clinics charge

TRIO Fertility (Toronto). CAD $8,000 to $10,000 per cycle, plus meds.
Mount Sinai Fertility (Toronto). CAD $8,000 to $10,000 per cycle.
Ottawa Fertility Center. CAD $7,500 to $9,500 per cycle.
Olive Fertility Center (Vancouver). CAD $9,000 to $11,000 per cycle.
Genesis Fertility Center (Vancouver). CAD $8,500 to $10,500 per cycle.
Astra Fertility (Calgary). CAD $7,500 to $9,500 per cycle.

Stimulation medications add CAD $3,000 to $6,000. Pricing figures come from clinic public pages, last verified in April 2026.

Canada versus the US on pricing

For patients in northern US states close to a Canadian clinic, Canadian pricing is meaningfully cheaper than in the US. The cross-border calculation includes:

Exchange rate (CAD to USD)
Travel cost for both initial consultation and the retrieval cycle
Time off work plus accommodation
Records continuity and follow-up considerations if a complication occurs back in the US
Cross-border egg storage logistics and shipping costs if eggs are eventually transported back to the US

US patients who can drive to Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver may save USD $5,000 to $10,000 net with the cross-border option. For those further inland, the calculation is tighter and the trip often not worthwhile.

Who regulates the procedure

The federal Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHRA) governs fertility clinics in Canada, and each province individually oversees clinical practice and physician licensing. The Act mandates informed consent, outlaws commercial surrogacy, and regulates the use of donated eggs and sperm. All provinces allow egg freezing for personal use.
