Egg Freezing Clinics in Canada
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) lets you preserve eggs at their current biological age for use in a future IVF cycle. We list 84 Canadian fertility clinics offering elective and medical egg freezing. A typical cycle in Canada costs $7,000 to $12,000 plus medications ($3,000 to $6,000) and ongoing storage fees ($300 to $600 per year). Most provinces do not publicly fund elective egg freezing, though medical fertility preservation (for cancer patients, for example) may be partially covered in some cases. Younger patients (under 35) typically retrieve more eggs per cycle and have higher chances of a future live birth from those eggs.
What to look for in a Egg Freezing clinic
- Realistic discussion of expected egg yield based on your age and AMH
- Clear all-in pricing including medications, monitoring, retrieval, anesthesia, and first-year storage
- Annual storage fees and how billing works after the first year
- Vitrification (fast-freeze) protocols — the modern standard with much higher thaw survival rates than older slow-freeze methods
- Plan for future use: how the clinic handles thaw, fertilization, and embryo transfer when you're ready

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does egg freezing cost in Canada?▼
A single cycle typically costs $7,000 to $12,000 plus medications ($3,000 to $6,000). Annual storage adds $300 to $600 per year. Many patients pursue 1 to 3 cycles depending on egg yield.
What's the best age to freeze eggs?▼
Egg quality and quantity decline with age. Most fertility specialists suggest considering egg freezing in your late 20s to early 30s for the best balance of egg quality and number per cycle. Freezing after age 38 is still possible but typically requires more cycles.
Do frozen eggs guarantee a future baby?▼
No. Frozen eggs significantly improve future options but don't guarantee a live birth. Outcomes depend on number and quality of eggs frozen, your age at freezing, and many other factors.
Is elective egg freezing covered by provincial health plans?▼
Generally no — elective egg freezing is paid out-of-pocket in all provinces. Medical fertility preservation (for cancer patients before chemotherapy, for example) may be partially covered in some provinces.
How long can eggs be frozen?▼
Eggs can be safely stored frozen for many years — there is no clear evidence that storage time itself affects outcomes. Some Canadian clinics have stored eggs for over a decade with successful thaws.
