As of 2019, third-party payment for circumcision is not available in Canada. Moreover, non-therapeutic circumcision is not done in hospitals,<ref name="jamesloewen2019" /> so parents who want to have a boy circumcised must take the boy to the surgery of a practitioner who specializes in non-therapeutic male circumcision, and furthermore must pay out of pocket. For example, the cost of circumcision of a newborn boy in New Brunswick is C$425 ranging up to C$1500 for a teenager or adult.<ref>{{REFweb

The prevalence of circumcision is high among older males, but low among younger males. As older mostly circumcised males die and are replaced by younger, mostly intact males, the prevalence of circumcision in Canada is gradually declining.
