Long distance moving to Canada, done in one trip

More people than ever are moving from the US into Canada — returning Canadians, new permanent residents, and families relocating for work. Most moves come up from the Northeast and Midwest into Ontario and Quebec, or across to BC. Every one runs as a single direct trip, the same crew from your US pickup to your Canadian door.

The Canadian border is straightforward when the paperwork is right. We prepare your Form BSF186 (the personal effects accounting document, still widely called the B4) and a “goods to follow” list where needed, and keep your shipment on one truck so it clears the Canada Border Services Agency without a transfer or a bonded-warehouse wait.

Step by step

How your move to Canada works

  1. 1

    Book a video-call assessment

    Walk a specialist through your home on your phone. We build an accurate inventory, no in-person visit, no guesswork on volume.

  2. 2

    Get your quote in writing

    A flat, written quote for your exact move to Canada, what you’re told is what you pay. No transload fees, no surprise charges on arrival.

  3. 3

    We schedule your pickup window

    Pick a date that works. We confirm the dispatch window and, for condos or apartments, help you line up the elevator or loading dock at both ends.

  4. 4

    Direct line-haul to Canada

    One truck, one driver, all the way. We call you with an ETA once we’re rolling, and we route around weather, not through it.

  5. 5

    Delivery and placement in Canada

    We unload into your new place and set the big items where you want them. Balance is due on delivery, before offloading, nothing hidden.

Before you go

Your moving-to-Canada checklist

Canadian customs (BSF186 / B4)

We prepare your Form BSF186 personal effects list — and a “goods to follow” version if some items arrive later.

Immigration documents

Have your PR, work-permit, study-permit or returning-resident papers ready; CBSA ties your goods to your status.

Bringing a vehicle

Importing a car is separate from your household move and runs through the RIV program — ask us and we’ll point you the right way.

Provincial health card

Apply for your province’s health coverage on arrival; most have a waiting period.

Driver’s licence

Exchange your US licence for a provincial one within the required window.

Prohibited items

Some US goods (certain foods, firearms, plants) are restricted at the Canadian border — we’ll flag anything on your list.

Local knowledge

What to know about moving to Canada

The single biggest factor in a US-to-Canada move is customs, and it’s the piece we own. CBSA wants an accurate personal effects list (BSF186), and your household goods are cleared against your immigration status. We prepare the documents, coordinate the crossing, and keep everything on one truck so there’s no transfer and no bonded-warehouse delay.

Seasons matter on the drive, not the paperwork. Northeast and Midwest corridors into Ontario and Quebec are quick — often a one-to-two day transit — while West-coast moves into BC cross the mountains, where we watch winter conditions and route around storms.

We deliver into every province. Tell us your Canadian destination at quote time and we handle the last-mile realities there — downtown condo elevators, permit parking, or a rural driveway.

People also ask

Moving to Canada, common questions

Do you handle Canadian customs when moving from the US?

Yes — we prepare your Form BSF186 (B4) personal effects list and coordinate the CBSA crossing as one carrier, with your goods on a single truck.

How long does it take to move from New York to Toronto?

New York to Toronto is a one-to-two day direct transit. Your belongings stay on one truck the whole way.

How much does a US-to-Canada move cost?

There is no flat rate — it depends on volume, access and the corridor. We send a written quote after a video-call assessment, with border fees included.

What documents do I need at the Canadian border?

A completed BSF186 personal effects list and your immigration paperwork (PR, work/study permit, or returning-resident proof). We prepare the customs documents for you.

Can you bring my car to Canada?

Vehicle import is separate from a household move and goes through the RIV program — we move your household goods and point you to the right vehicle path.

Which provinces do you deliver to?

All ten — from Ontario and Quebec to BC, the Prairies and the Maritimes.

Can you store my belongings if my Canadian place isn’t ready?

Yes — we warehouse in Canada and can hold your shipment until your new home is ready.

Is there an in-person estimate?

No — we assess by video call and build your inventory from there.
