Can Quebec families have a baby through surrogacy?

Yes, but Quebec has its own rules. Since 2023 the Civil Code has allowed surrogacy projects with a notarized agreement signed before the pregnancy begins, an information session for the parties and specific consent steps after the birth.

Yes, but Quebec has its own rules. Since 2023 the Civil Code has allowed surrogacy projects with a notarized agreement signed before the pregnancy begins, an information session for the parties and specific consent steps after the birth.

Rules differ depending on where the surrogate lives, and out-of-province surrogacy involves extra steps. Please work with a Quebec notary or lawyer alongside your agency.
