About Canadian Sperm Donors
Did you know the donation of semen is a far more rigorous process than donation of blood or plasma?. People accepted into our Canadian donor program are selected from carefully screened and tested applicants who have undergone in-depth evaluation. Less than two per cent of all applicants are accepted.
