Moving between Orlando and Canada means declaring your goods to the Canada Border Services Agency, usually at the port of entry where your truck crosses. You file a BSF186 for goods following and a BSF186A for the accompanying list, and your status as a returning resident or settler decides how duty applies. Provincial licensing and health coverage follow once you arrive.
The Canada Border Services Agency needs an itemized list of your goods. The BSF186 covers goods to follow, the BSF186A lists goods accompanying you, and both are filed at the port of entry. Motion prepares the paperwork from your inventory, so the lists match what is on the truck when it crosses.
Used personal and household effects are generally duty-free when you relocate to Canada. Returning residents must have owned and used the goods abroad for at least six months under tariff item 9805.00.00. Settlers bringing goods to Canada for the first time are assessed under different conditions, so check your status.
From Orlando, Ontario loads normally cross at the Ambassador Bridge after I-75 north, Quebec loads at Lacolle-Champlain via I-87, and Vancouver loads at the Pacific Highway crossing near Blaine on I-5. The crossing depends on your destination and the truck’s routing, over roughly 2,070, 2,320 and 5,190 km.
Motion drives your goods from Orlando to the Canadian door with no transfer to a second carrier at the border. The same corridors run in both directions, so a move from Canada to Florida is carried by the same carrier, with trucks filled on the return rather than running empty.

Moving from Orlando to Canada means one truck, one carrier and one customs file from the Florida driveway to the Canadian door. A load normally runs north on I-75 or I-95, crosses at a port such as the Ambassador Bridge for Ontario or Lacolle-Champlain for Quebec, and is cleared by the Canada Border Services Agency before delivery. Motion handles the paperwork and does not hand the load to a second carrier at the border.
Orlando is a busy relocation market, driven by rental housing, theme-park and hospitality work, and retirees heading home.
Plan for humidity. Orlando homes hold moisture year round. Let furniture, mattresses and soft goods dry fully before packing, so nothing arrives in a Canadian winter smelling of mildew.
Inventory for the border early. Itemize every box with a value and note which goods travel with you and which follow. The BSF186 and BSF186A lists are built from that inventory.
Size for the new house. Single-storey Florida homes and lanais often hold more patio and garage gear than a Canadian home has room for. Decide on pool furniture, fans and outdoor sets before loading.
Book around hurricane season. June to November can disrupt Florida pickup dates. Build slack into your schedule if you leave in those months, and confirm community gate and elevator access early.

“I was helping my daughter to relocate from New Jersey to Toronto and we worried so much about the cross border move. … The pick up in New Jersey was made so smooth that we didn't need to worry about even the packing. The shipment arrived Toronto in 3 days, without needing us to clear the customs!”

Two lists filed with the Canada Border Services Agency at the port of entry: the BSF186 for goods following later and the BSF186A for the list of goods accompanying you. Motion handles the paperwork and prepares both from your inventory.
The distance is about 2,070 km via I-75 and the Ambassador Bridge, and border clearance and your delivery window affect the final date.
Yes. Motion runs these corridors in both directions with one carrier end to end, and fills trucks on the return. A Canada to Orlando move gets the same no-transfer service; customs requirements differ on the US side, so we confirm them when we quote.
Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are the main destinations, at roughly 2,070, 2,320 and 5,190 km. Nearby places such as Kissimmee and Deltona start from the same corridors. Give us your delivery address on the video call and we confirm the routing.
