It is a nice utopia. There is a law that allows surrogacy in Canada for foreigners. But in CANADA, there is an altruistic law that sets a limit to the amount that the surrogate can receive as compensation, which must include her medical expenses. A surrogate in the USA receives between 45,000 and 55,000 US dollars, and Canadian surrogates are aware of this and demand similar sums.
Paying the excess is a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment. As a law firm, we cannot recommend that you enter such dangerous territory. Moreover, intermediation is prohibited:
“Surrogacy in Canada is permitted as long as it is altruistic, i.e. the gestational carrier is prohibited by law from receiving any financial remuneration, except for medical expenses which shall be borne by the commissioning parents. Thus, brokering or advertising for the services of a surrogate is also forbidden (section 6 assisted human reproduction act 2004)".
60 A person who contravenes any of sections 5 to 7 and 9 is guilty of an offence and is
is liable on conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding $500,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or to both; or
is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $250,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding four years, or to both.
is liable, on conviction on indictment, to a fine not exceeding $250,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years, or to both; or
is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding $100,000 or to imprisonment for up to two years, or to both."

|
When you find a surrogate mother, she must accept you as the commissioning parents in a surrogacy in Canada. |
