As of July 2026, CFAS lists one fertility clinic in Manitoba, in Winnipeg, and one Manitoba clinic takes part in CARTR Plus, Canada's IVF registry. Heartland Fertility opened in Winnipeg in May 1997 and, at its 20th anniversary, reported more than 3,000 babies conceived through IVF. No Manitoba-specific cycle or outcome figures were published.
Keep in mind that Manitoba's Fertility Treatment Tax Credit does not count treatments or medications obtained outside Manitoba (Manitoba Tax Assistance Office).

CFAS reports that 73% of Canada's fertility clinics are in Ontario and Quebec (July 2026). With a single clinic in the province, ask early about wait times and about what each step costs, and confirm with the clinic, the Manitoba Tax Assistance Office and your insurer what you can claim, since rules change.
With one clinic, you may not compare many professionals, but you can still evaluate the one you see. Map to the Positive gives a script for the first visit:
These questions come from Chapter 31 of Map to the Positive, in Station IV, on choosing the right doctor. The station also covers when to see a specialist, each rung of the treatment ladder, and IVF phase by phase with the questions to ask before you start.
Take 30 days. If it does not give you more clarity than everything you have read for free so far, ask for a refund and you get every cent back. We cannot promise you a pregnancy. We can promise you will not be guessing.
