      Our Moving Services from Ontario to Alberta

      House Moving
      We will take care of everything needed to get your furniture from your house located in the city of Mississauga to a new home somewhere in the Calgary area. We wrap all of your furniture, box up anything fragile, and disassemble/reassemble any heavy furniture in order for you to receive it at your new place exactly as it was when it left your old place.
      Condo Moving
      If you're moving into or out of a condominium, there is a lot of coordination needed. We have done hundreds of condo moves all across Ontario, and we already know what the building management is going to need from all of us to ensure that there are no problems during the move.
      Office Moving
      Are you moving your business from Ontario to Alberta? We will work to minimize downtime during your move by creating an inventory list to label, box and transport your company's office equipment, so when you arrive at your new location, it will be ready for your employees to set it up as quickly as possible.
      Car Shipping
      Why drive over 3,400 kilometres from Ontario to Alberta? Let us arrange for you to have your automobile transported from your old location to your new location while you take care of your other moving responsibilities.
      Packing Service
      Whether you need a full packing service or a partial packing service, we can accommodate you. We will supply the packing materials you need to pack your belongings so that they will be safe and protected during a long-distance move. We suggest that you start packing for your move to Alberta at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to your moving date to allow sufficient time to properly package everything before moving day. If you have any delicate or fragile items, we will take extra precautions to ensure that none of your belongings will arrive at your new location in damaged condition.
      Moving Storage
      Sometimes the timing of moves does not align. In the event that you have to store your belongings before moving between Ontario and Alberta, we will provide you with 30 days of free storage for your belongings while they are in our warehouses until you are ready to take possession of them.

      Our Moving Process

      1

      Inventory & Estimate

      We can take your list of items or walk through with you to help build the list to determine how to move from Ontario to Alberta. A moving timeline should be put in place several weeks before your move if moving long distances across Canada. A flat-rate quote will be provided based on the volume of items — not on educated guesses.
      2

      Packing Your Belongings

      We pack to ensure that your items can survive the trip from Ontario to Alberta — approximately 3,400 kilometres. At the time of packing, professional packing materials will be used and adequate labelling will be put on all of your items. Any fragile or oddly shaped item will be double wrapped and taped securely.
      3

      Loading & Transit

      Our fleet runs trucks from 20 to 28 feet — right size for your move, no dead space you're paying for. We load carefully and keep your shipment on schedule. Transit typically takes 4–7 days, with moving from Ontario to Alberta covering approximately 3,400 km depending on origin and destination in Alberta. During peak periods, higher demand can reduce availability and increase pricing. Moving mid month and booking Monday to Thursday are usually the cheapest days.
      4

      Delivery & Setup

      After unloading at your new address in Alberta, we will put all of your belongings in the locations that you specify. The unpacking service is available upon request. We will not leave until you are satisfied.

      Cost of Moving from Ontario to Alberta

      Overall, the cost to move from Ontario to Alberta typically ranges from about $1,000 for a small shipment up to $17,000+ for a large home, depending on shipment size, route, and service level. Our starting prices are based on home size:

      Studio / 1-Bedroom

      from $1,000 CAD

      A one bedroom apartment is a common benchmark when comparing relocation budgets, so it's a good place to start. Two movers, licensed and insured.

      Large Home / Full Trailer

      from $4,000 CAD

      Exclusive use of a 1,300 cu ft trailer for direct delivery, with the largest jobs running to $17,000+ depending on volume.

      Why People Are Moving from Ontario to Alberta

      There are some good reasons why one might want to move to Alberta from Ontario – and the stats to prove it!

      • No provincial sales tax. Alberta is the only province with no PST, so you pay just the 5% federal GST instead of Ontario's 13% HST. This can add up fast!
      • Skilled trades and electric power jobs will have a large proportion of job creation in Alberta's job market. Compared to Ontario, the Alberta job market is expanding rapidly, has a lower rate of unemployment, and Calgary has vibrant job opportunities for new individuals moving into the city. Alberta's economy is underpinned by strong industries and entrepreneurial sectors, especially in the natural resource, construction, and technology sectors.
      • Calgary experiences an average of 333 days of sunshine each year. While both Alberta and Ontario experience cold winters, Alberta's winter air is usually drier than the winter's humidity level in Ontario, making cold air feel less cold than hot, humid air. This contrasts greatly with the daily lives of individuals who live in Alberta and the weather they must deal with, even with the effects of Chinook winds pushing temperatures up above 0 degrees Celsius during January.

      Alberta's vibrant cities often come with shorter, less stressful commute times, while Ontario still appeals to people who want a more urbanized lifestyle and a massive job market. Alberta's growing cities — Calgary and Edmonton especially — have developed infrastructure, good schools and strong economies. Red Deer sits between them and draws families looking for smaller-city life without isolation.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        The cost is calculated by cubic foot (not weight or a rough estimate) based on the inventory list you provide; with the receipt of your inventory list, you'll receive a flat rate quote for your move. The actual cost will not exceed the quoted rate by more than 1%. You will not have any surprises upon delivery.
        Transit time between Ontario and Alberta typically takes 4 to 7 days depending upon where your pickup is located in Ontario and where you are delivering to in Alberta (Calgary and Edmonton are our most commonly delivered locations, so coordinating between scheduling will be easy). We will confirm the delivery window with you at the time of loading.
        Yes. In addition to moving your household items, we offer vehicle shipping. Your vehicle will be shipped on a carrier while our truck transports your household belongings in our trailer to Alberta. Both will be delivered to Alberta on a coordinated timeline.
        We provide both full packing (packing every item in your home) and partial packing (packing only certain areas of your home or packing only delicate items). We will provide you with professional packing materials such as heavy-duty boxes, bubble wrap and furniture blankets. You can be assured that all packing will withstand a 3,400 km relocation.
        You will receive up to 30 days free storage. Your household items will be stored securely in our facility until you are ready to receive delivery of your items. There is no rush to move into your new home and you will incur no additional charges for the first 30 days for the storage of your items.
        You will have a dedicated moving coordinator who will keep you updated at each portion of your move from the time the moving truck is fully loaded to the time of delivering your household goods to you. There will not be any guesswork regarding when a vehicle is loaded or in transit or when you will receive delivery.
        Unlike international moves, you will not need customs documentation for an interprovincial move in Canada. However, in addition to your moving paperwork, you should organize your legal documents that will be required to establish Alberta residency, which will include proof of Alberta residency and, if you will be shipping a vehicle, your Ontario driver's licence and ownership documents of the vehicle. You will generally need to update your driver's licence and vehicle registration within 90 days after you move to Alberta. It's important that you register for healthcare immediately upon your arrival to Alberta or soon thereafter; otherwise, you may experience some delay in healthcare access and medical services.
