Ontario Fertility Program

Ontario's publicly funded fertility programme, delivered through participating clinics.

Canadian healthcare & funding

Ontario funds defined fertility services through participating clinics, with eligibility criteria, a single funded IVF cycle per patient historically and separate arrangements for IUI and fertility preservation. Medications are generally not covered. Wait-lists are managed by each clinic, so waiting times differ. Confirm current eligibility and scope directly with the programme and clinic.

Also known as: OHIP IVF, Ontario funded IVF
