Securely Moving
Arrival & Unloading
The only form you need when moving from New York to Toronto and crossing into Canada via the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is the Personal Effects Accounting Document (Form BSF186, formerly B4). This is the way to declare everything you are bringing into Canada; once you arrive in Canada, a CBSA officer will review & stamp it at your first entry point.
Any items that are shipped separately (e.g., boxes arriving on a different truck, items coming from storage) will be declared on the companion BSF186A document (this identifies your goods as “goods to follow”). If you do not submit either of these two forms, you will pay duty on your own furniture!
If you are also shipping a car as part of your move, you will encounter additional levels of requirements to get the vehicle to Canada under Transport Canada’s Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV). The RIV policy ensures that vehicles that come from outside Canada meet Canadian Safety Standards prior to being registered in Canada.
Some items (e.g., firearms, certain plants, specified food products) cannot be imported into Canada, and if the appropriate customs forms are not submitted, the customs officer can hold your entire shipment. We assist you with filling out both BSF186 forms and identify items/items categorized as requiring special handling prior to the truck departing New York and making its way to you in Toronto.
High Stream Moving is proud to offer moving from New York City to Toronto and all across Greater Toronto Area.
One of the main factors to consider is the cost to be incurred. A good number of moving companies base their quotes on weight, others give a flat rate — it's worth knowing exactly what's included before you decide.
Our main difference, at High Stream Moving, is that we give you an all-inclusive quote: no hidden fees or charges once your inventory is set. Planning the trip in the other direction? We handle that route too.

highstream.moving@gmail.comMost New York to Toronto household moves run between $467 for a small shipment and $5,129 for a full house — office relocations can run up to about $7,694 depending on scope.
The distance from New York to Toronto is approximately 800 kilometres. This makes the journey by car approximately 7-8 hours. But this does not take into account rest stops or overnight stays, nor does it consider how loaded the truck is and the fragility of the cargo, which can limit speed on difficult stretches of road.
This journey with us usually takes 1-2 days, considering the driver's rest allowance.
Most trucks from the New York City area take I-87 (the New York State Thruway) north to Albany, then I-90 west to Buffalo, crossing into Canada at the Niagara Falls border crossing before heading north on the QEW into Toronto. Pickups from upstate New York, such as Rochester or Syracuse, generally join I-90 directly to the same crossing.
Exact routing can still shift with weather, season, or border wait times, and your coordinator will confirm it before pickup.
The winter weather gives more restrictions when moving than summer weather.
Cold temperatures, ice, snow, and rain require extra safety steps in the moving process, such as waterproofing belongings, protecting them from moisture, and sprinkling salt on walkways when loading and unloading. Slip and fall injuries are also likely.
In addition, high winds and snow affect the difficulty of driving, require more experience, and lengthen the journey time.
