Ask your provincial health plan whether it pays anything towards planned care abroad before you book; we have not reviewed provincial rules yet.

Add your flight and hotel
Add a return flight and 14 nights to see whether the trip still costs less than paying in Canada.
When not to travel
- Anyone the destination’s law excludes. Thailand, for example, limits IVF to legally married couples, according to a Bangkok clinic.
- People who have not had fertility tests at home: a clinic abroad will usually ask for them first.

IVF from Canada: questions
How much does a private IVF cycle cost in Canada?

Where abroad is a IVF cycle cheapest from Canada?
Before travel: Japan about C$2,310, Poland about C$3,130 to C$5,530 and Turkey about C$4,700. Add a return flight and 14 nights' hotel to compare the whole trip.
Do I need a referral for a IVF cycle abroad?
Clinics differ, but a referral or a letter from your own doctor makes the result far more useful: it says what question the IVF cycle should answer, and it means someone at home will act on it.
