Canadian Medical Travel Coordination
Last updated: June 2026
Why Canadians consider fertility treatment abroad
Infertility affects about 1 in 6 people in Canada. Public funding for IVF has expanded in recent years, and several provinces now fund treatment, but the support is limited. Most programs that fund IVF cover a single cycle and apply an age limit, for example under 43 in Ontario and up to 41 in Quebec, and in many provinces fertility medications and donor eggs or sperm are not included.
The average cost of one IVF cycle in Canada is close to 20,000 CAD. Patients who need more than one cycle, who are past the funded age limit, or who are considering egg, sperm, or embryo donation sometimes look at accredited clinics abroad, where the laws and available programs differ by country. Treatment at an accredited clinic abroad is one option some Canadians consider. It applies to planned treatment that can be arranged in advance.
How fertility treatment abroad works for Canadians
Fertility treatment abroad for Canadians follows a clear path: you share your medical history and any test results, we explain which treatments and destinations suit your case and the laws that apply, we connect you with an accredited partner clinic for an online consultation with a fertility specialist, and you receive a clear quote before any commitment.​
Maple Med Global is a coordination service; the medical care is provided by the accredited hospital and its physicians, who hold clinical responsibility for your treatment.
​
Treatment abroad is private and paid directly by you. The quote sets out what is and is not included. If you prefer not to pay all at once, instalment financing is available through third-party providers, with payment made to us or the clinic and repaid over time.

Fertility treatments we help you access
The main fertility treatments we help Canadian patients access at accredited clinics are listed below. The right treatment for your case is recommended by a fertility specialist in a consultation before any commitment.
Procedure
What it is
IVF and ICSI
Egg and embryo freezing
Donation (egg, sperm, embryo)
Genetic testing (PGT)
Couples or individuals who need help conceiving, including male factor infertility, where ICSI fertilizes the egg directly
People who want to preserve fertility for the future, including before certain medical treatments
Patients who need donor eggs, sperm, or embryos; whether this is available depends on the laws of the destination country
Testing of embryos for certain genetic conditions before transfer, where medically indicated
Donor and parentage laws differ significantly between countries, and we explain how they apply to your situation before you commit. Where diagnostic testing is needed first, see our Checkup page.
Who is suited to travel for fertility care
Whether to travel for treatment is a clinical matter for qualified physicians, and we encourage you to discuss any plan with your own physician in Canada. The specialist who would treat you abroad reviews your file to confirm whether your case can be treated at that centre. When you share your records, we relay the specialist's view on whether suitable options exist; some cases are better treated closer to home.
How we choose your clinic and fertility specialist
We select the clinic on clear criteria in every case: the clinic's experience and laboratory quality in assisted reproduction, the fertility specialist's experience with your specific situation, transparent reporting of outcomes to a recognized registry, and an international patient department with English-language support.
We share the clinic we recommend, with the specialist's name and professional background, before any commitment. The international hospitals we work with hold Joint Commission International (JCI), Accreditation Canada, or equivalent accreditation. If you want to compare, you can ask for more than one option.
Where Canadians can have fertility treatment abroad
We work with accredited clinics in a small number of carefully selected countries, rather than a long list. The right destination depends on your case, the treatment you need, and the laws that apply, particularly for donation.
