Some of Canada’s largest companies, including the Big Five banks, have rolled out fertility coverage in the past few years

When Deana Sdao took a fertility test in 2020, she learned she had low levels of the hormone associated with egg production. She looked into freezing her eggs as a back-up plan for when she and her partner are ready to have a child, but “it was astronomically expensive.”

“It was divine timing,” said Ms. Sdao, 33, who lives in Toronto. “It was huge. I’ve heard of this from employers before but I’d never experienced it and honestly it gave me peace of mind.” The costs of using assisted reproduction can be dizzying. In-vitro fertilization can run up to $20,000 per round – though women inand Quebec have access to one province-funded round – plus roughly $5,000 in IVF fertility drugs per cycle. Surrogacy expenses begin at $60,000.
