Surrogacy in Canada is legal, but it is carefully regulated under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHRA). If you are considering becoming a Surrogate, here are the key guidelines you should know:

• Surrogates must be at least 21 years old.

• Must be in good physical and mental health.

• Ideally should have had at least one healthy pregnancy and delivery

• Surrogates are entitled to reimbursement for expenses directly related to the pregnancy (e.g., maternity clothes, travel to medical appointments, medications, lost wages for medical visits and pregnancy related, child care etc ).

• Both the Surrogate and the Intended Parents must have independent legal counsel and sign a surrogacy agreement before any medical procedures begin.

• The agreement outlines responsibilities, reimbursements, and expectations, but it is not legally enforceable in court—it serves as a framework of trust and clarity.

• Surrogates must undergo a medical assessment by a fertility specialist.

• A psychological evaluation is also usually required to ensure emotional readiness for the process.

• At birth, the Surrogate is the legal mother of the baby until a court process transfers parentage to the Intended Parents.

• The Intended Parents must apply for a Declaration of Parentage (province-specific process).

• Surrogates are encouraged to have strong personal support (family/partner/friends).

• Agencies and professionals should provide guidance, emotional support, and ensure the Surrogate’s health and well-being remain the priority.​
