how late can you get an abortion in ontario

In Ontario, abortion by procedure is available up to 24 weeks and 6 days of gestational age. Beyond this point, access becomes very limited within Canada, and individuals seeking an abortion after 24 weeks may need to consider traveling outside of Canada, such as to the United States, to access care. Canada itself does not have a legal time limit for abortion, meaning it is not criminalized at any gestational age, but practical access normally ends around this 24-25 week threshold in Ontario due to medical facility capabilities and policies. Most abortions in Ontario occur in the first trimester (13 weeks), and late-term abortions after 23 weeks require special arrangements and are less commonly performed. Abortion care at 20 weeks and beyond is only available in some provinces including Ontario, but after 24 weeks, care generally requires travel outside Canada.
