Why is EarlyReveal the right choice for Laval families?
EarlyReveal is a 100% Canadian company, headquartered and operated in Laval. We are the only gender-detection test in Canada that holds a Health Canada Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL) for our category — a credential no other at-home gender test sold in Canada has.
SneakPeek, the largest US brand, stopped serving Canadian customers in January 2026. Competitors like Peekaboo still ship samples across the US border for processing. With EarlyReveal, your prenatal data stays in Québec, protected under both Canadian federal privacy law (PIPEDA) and Québec's Law 25.

How early can I take the test in Laval?
You can take an EarlyReveal test as early as 7 weeks of pregnancy, dated from the first day of your last menstrual period. By week 7, enough of your baby's cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is circulating in your blood for our lab to reliably detect the presence or absence of the Y chromosome.
If a Y chromosome is found, you're carrying a boy. If no Y chromosome is found, you're carrying a girl. Not sure of your gestational age? Use our eligibility calculator to check whether you're ready.
How much does it cost compared to NIPT in Québec?
In Québec, NIPT is only covered by RAMQ for high-risk pregnancies under the Programme québécois de dépistage prénatal. For most expecting parents, private NIPT runs between $500 and $900 — a fraction of which goes toward learning the sex of the baby. If sex determination is your primary question, EarlyReveal is the targeted, faster, and more affordable option.
EarlyReveal vs. Private NIPT in Québec
| Feature | EarlyReveal | Private NIPT (Québec) |
|---|---|---|
| Earliest test week | 7 weeks | 10–12 weeks |
| Cost in Québec | A fraction of NIPT | $500–$900 |
| What it tests for | Sex of baby (Y chromosome) | Chromosomal abnormalities + sex |
| Where it's processed | Laval, Québec | Varies — often US labs |
| Collection method | At home, needle-free | Clinic blood draw |
| Result turnaround | 72 hours | 7–14 days |
EarlyReveal does not replace NIPT. NIPT screens for chromosomal abnormalities; EarlyReveal determines fetal sex. Your healthcare provider can help you choose what's right for your pregnancy.
How is my privacy protected under Québec Law 25?
EarlyReveal complies with both PIPEDA (Canadian federal privacy law) and Québec's Law 25 — the strictest provincial privacy regime in Canada. Your blood sample is destroyed after analysis, your DNA data is never sold or shared with third parties for research or marketing, and your result is delivered only to you through our secure customer portal.

Is the test approved by Health Canada?
EarlyReveal is licensed by Health Canada under its Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL) program. We are the only at-home early gender DNA test company in Canada with this licence. EarlyReveal is not a diagnostic test; it determines fetal sex and is intended as a complement to — not a replacement for — the prenatal care provided by your physician, midwife, or the Programme québécois de dépistage prénatal.
What if my result is wrong?
EarlyReveal delivers over 99.9% accuracy when the kit is used correctly at 7 weeks or later. In the rare case that your result is incorrect, you are covered by our money-back guarantee.
How fast will I get my result in Laval?
Because our lab is in Laval, Laval customers get the fastest turnaround in Canada. Sample collected today, mailed today: results in your inbox in as little as 72 hours from when our lab receives the sample. Most Laval customers receive their result within 3–5 business days from the moment they order their kit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drop my sample off directly at the Laval lab?
We currently use prepaid Canada Post mail to ensure chain-of-custody and proper sample handling. Direct drop-off is not available at this time.
Is EarlyReveal available in French in Laval?
Oui. Our full website, customer service, and result reports are available in Québec French. Visit notre page en français.
What if I'm carrying twins?
The standard test can detect the presence of a Y chromosome but cannot distinguish between twin pregnancies of different sexes. If a Y is detected with twins, at least one twin is male.
Does the test work for IVF or surrogate pregnancies?
Yes. The test detects fetal DNA regardless of how conception occurred. Contact our team if you have a specific situation to discuss.
Can I take the test after a recent miscarriage?
Residual fetal DNA can affect results. We recommend waiting at least three menstrual cycles after a loss, or speaking with your physician about timing.
Does shipping from Laval take longer than elsewhere?
The opposite — Laval customers typically receive kits next-day and results the fastest because both ends of the journey are local.
