Moving,
done by
pros.
Full-time, uniformed crews for local, long-distance and cross-border moves — with a price you can see online and hold us to on moving day.
What our crews move
Every service is quoted the same way: one price, shown before you book, that only changes if you add items on the day.

8 questions to ask any mover
Whoever you hire — us or someone else — these answers tell you whether the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay.
1. Are you the mover, or a broker?
Some companies take your booking and sell the job to another crew. Ask who owns the trucks and employs the people who will arrive. A broker can’t promise you a crew, a date or a price it doesn’t control.
2. Is the quote binding, or an estimate?
An estimate can change on the day. A binding or flat-rate quote can only change if you add items or services. Get it in writing, with the inventory it’s based on.
3. Is it priced by weight, volume or time?
Local moves are usually hourly. Long-distance moves are priced by weight or volume — ask how it’s measured, when, and whether you can be there to see it.
4. What extra fees could appear?
Ask directly about stairs, elevators, long carries, fuel, travel time, shuttle trucks and bulky items. Anything not mentioned in writing is a risk.
5. How much is the deposit, and is it refundable?
A small deposit to hold a date is normal. Be cautious of large upfront payments or cash-only demands, and ask what happens to the deposit if you reschedule.
6. What coverage is included if something breaks?
Basic released-value coverage pays by weight, not by what an item is worth. Ask what full-value protection costs, what it excludes, and how long claims take to settle.
7. What is the delivery window for a long-distance move?
Shared-load trucks often deliver within a window of several days. Get the window in writing, and ask what happens — and who pays for storage — if your new place isn’t ready.
8. Can I see recent reviews and your licence and insurance?
Look for recent reviews that mention the final bill, and ask for proof of liability and cargo insurance and of workers’ compensation coverage for the crew.
Canada’s moving calendar
How busy movers typically are through the year. Busier months book up sooner and have less flexibility on dates.
Most date choice. Allow for winter road delays.
Short month — month-end still fills up.
Good time to book a spring move.
Demand starts climbing with home sales.
Book 3–4 weeks ahead.
School’s out. Book 4–6 weeks ahead.
July 1 is Quebec’s traditional moving day — book very early there.
Students and families moving before school starts.
Early month is busy; it eases after mid-month.
Good weather and more open dates.
Watch for early snow on mountain and prairie routes.
Holiday weeks fill fast; the rest is open.
In every month, the last few days and the 1st are the busiest. A mid-week, mid-month date gives you the most choice.
Your timeline, week by week
What to do and when, from booking your mover to the first night in your new home.
8 weeks out
- Get quotes and book your mover — earlier for June to August or month-end dates
- Walk through each room and decide what moves, sells, donates or goes
- Ask your new building about elevator bookings, move-in rules and the certificate of insurance (COI) they need
- Moving for work? Ask your employer what relocation costs they cover
4 weeks out
- Set up mail forwarding with Canada Post
- Book utilities, internet and insurance at the new address
- Order boxes and supplies, or book packing
- Start packing rooms you use least
2 weeks out
- Confirm the date, arrival window and access details with your mover
- Book the elevator at both ends and reserve parking for the truck
- Use up frozen food and plan what to do with plants
- Update your address with your bank, employer and the Canada Revenue Agency
Moving week
- Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer 24–48 hours before
- Pack an essentials box: documents, medication, chargers, bedding, a kettle
- Set aside valuables, cash and important papers to carry yourself
- Label each box with its room and contents
Moving day
- Walk the crew lead through what goes and what stays
- Check the inventory before signing
- Do a final walk-through: cupboards, closets, balcony, storage locker
- At the new place, check items off and note any damage before signing
The paperwork people forget
Rules and deadlines differ by province, so check your new province’s official website for the details.
Some provinces have a waiting period before coverage starts. Ask your current province how long you stay covered after you leave.
Most provinces expect new residents to switch within a set period after arriving. Your car may need a safety inspection.
Your province of residence on December 31 decides your provincial tax. Eligible work or study moves may allow you to claim moving expenses — keep your receipts.
Auto insurance is provincially regulated and may need a new policy. Arrange home or tenant insurance from your move-in date.
Request school and medical records, register children in the new school board, and check local pet licensing rules.
Update your address with Elections Canada and your new province’s elections office.
What can’t go on the truck
For safety and insurance reasons, movers can’t carry some items. Plan to use up, give away or transport these yourself.
Propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinner, aerosols, pool chemicals, fireworks and ammunition.
Fresh and frozen food, especially on long-distance moves that take more than a day.
Passports, cash, jewellery, medication, important documents, keys and hard drives.
Pets always travel with you. Plants may not survive a long trip in a dark truck.
How much do movers cost in Canada?
Local moves are billed hourly — typically [$XXX–$X,XXX] for a 1–2 bedroom home. Long-distance moves are a flat rate by distance and volume. See the cost guide above or get your exact price in the quote tool.
Will my final bill match the quote?
Yes. Flat-rate quotes are locked at booking. The price only changes if you add items or services on the day, and the crew lead confirms any change with you in writing first.
Do you move to small towns and rural addresses?
Yes — any Canadian postal code. Remote and northern routes may include a travel fee, shown in your quote before you book.
Are my belongings insured?
Basic released-value coverage is included on every move. Full replacement-value protection is available at checkout. Claims are settled within 7 days.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks is ideal. Month-ends, summer weekends and July 1 in Quebec book up 4–6 weeks out. Same-week local moves are often available.
