Canada: An overview

The second largest country in the world, Canada has a population only around half that of the UK, and about a third of them have British origins. Local regulations may put some restrictions on your move (you can’t usually import secondhand cars for instance) but you can rest assured we will assist you at every stage from start to finish of your move, leaving you to enjoy everything this vast country has to offer.

Canadian Customs and quarantine regulations

Your Move Manager will oversee your move throughout and be able to guide you through Canada’s Customs and quarantine regulations as they apply to your individual circumstances.

What should I do with the things I can’t take?

There are some items you may not be permitted to import into Canada, and there will probably be others you don’t need to take but would like to keep. The answer is to store them in our secure and well-maintained storage facilities, where you can access them at any time during working hours.

How long will it take to ship my possessions?

It depends on where in Canada you are going, but if you are heading for the popular east coast destinations (Toronto, Montreal, Quebec) allow around 4-5 weeks for your goods to arrive. If you are moving to the west coast (Vancouver area) then they will take some 5-7 weeks to get there. Your Move Manager will supply a schedule covering the expected transit time for your particular move.
