Planning the trip from Canada

  1. Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for an IVF cycle and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goCheck what your home health service funds first. NICE in England recommends up to three cycles under 40, but local health boards decide, and the HSE in Ireland funds one round for eligible couples.
  3. Before you goAsk the clinic for a written plan with dates, medicines and every fee, and agree how embryos are stored if you do not use them all.
  4. Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca).
  5. LanguageSpanish (and Catalan in Barcelona); international departments of private hospitals work in English.
  6. After you returnTell your GP if you are pregnant after treatment abroad, with the clinic’s report on the transfer.
  7. After you returnSevere tummy pain, swelling or breathlessness after egg collection can be a reaction to the hormones and needs urgent care.

IVF in Spain from Canada: questions

How much is an IVF cycle in Spain for Canadians?

The published prices we found work out at C$8,380 at the clinic, from IVI Fertility (clinics in Spain). Adding a rough travel estimate of C$3,060 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about C$11,440. Your own fares and dates will change that part.

Is it cheaper than paying privately in Canada?

No, not on these example figures: the lowest self-pay price we found at home is C$9,000, about C$2,440 less than the cheapest trip. It can make sense if you are already travelling to Spain.

How long is the wait for an IVF cycle in Canada?

We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in Canada.

How many days do I need in Spain?

About 2 to 3 weeks for a fresh cycle if you start the injections at the clinic; less if the clinic lets you start them at home and come for the last scans, egg collection and transfer. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.

Will my provincial plan pay for it?

Ask your provincial health plan before booking; we have not reviewed provincial rules for planned care abroad.
