The lowdown on surrogacy laws in Canada
Surrogacy laws can be a little tricky since they’re different across the provinces, but we’re here to help simplify it for you:

  • Federal Law: Canada’s Assisted Human Reproduction Act allows altruistic surrogacy—meaning surrogates can be reimbursed for reasonable expenses, but they can’t be paid beyond that.

  • Provincial Differences: Every province has its own rules, especially when it comes to parental rights and legal processes. Plaid makes sure you understand the specific requirements for where you live, so there are no surprises.

We’re here to guide you through it all, so you can stay focused on the joy of your growing family!
