Toronto → Vancouver
I moved from Toronto to Vancouver for a new job in the technology sector and had a lot of furniture to move so I was unsure how to start. The staff at High Stream provided a clear quote after reviewing my item list and stuck with that number. My final bill was exactly what was agreed to. Overall a great experience.
Toronto → Vancouver
This was my third time going long distance, but this was the first time I was stress-free going through it. They contacted me before they left Toronto, to confirm my delivery time for when I would be arriving in Vancouver, which was great because I could plan my arrival to Vancouver accordingly. The free one-month storage period was also a lifesaver since I didn’t need to rush around to find a place to go as my new place would not be ready at that time.
Toronto → Vancouver
Coordinating a high-rise condo move from start to finish is difficult to do, but High Stream was able to handle the elevator reservations and building access without me having to chase down anybody. Their professionalism was outstanding. Friends who assisted me with unpacking were shocked that nothing was damaged over such a long distance.
High Stream Moving is proud to offer moving from Toronto to Vancouver and all across Greater Toronto Area.
A mid-sized long-distance move from Toronto to Vancouver costs around $3,000 CAD on average. Every home is unique, so we charge based on how much room your belongings take up in the trailer (cubic feet) rather than guessing at a flat rate. We also give you a realistic range by home size, so you can budget accurately with no surprises on the moving side.
Your final cost depends on the size of the move, access at both locations, any storage you need, and whether you're moving special items such as pianos or pool tables. Our starting prices are based on your home size:
From $1,000 CAD
A simple cross-country move for singles, students, and smaller apartments. Everything fits in a single truck for one clean run out to Vancouver.
From $1,500 CAD
A good fit for couples and small families heading west from Toronto. You get a full-size truck and a crew that knows the long-distance route.
From $2,500 CAD
Built for family homes with more rooms and more furniture to move. A dedicated crew takes care of loading, the 4,370 km haul, and delivery in Vancouver.
From $4,000 CAD
For large homes and full household relocations to Vancouver. Our biggest crew and the most truck capacity, with full-service packing available on request.
A full 1,300 cu. ft. trailer fits a 3-4 bedroom home — furniture, boxes, appliances, all your belongings. One truck, one delivery. For a studio or 1-bedroom apartment you don't need a full trailer: fill out our Long-Distance Moving Quote form and list your items, and we calculate the exact cubic footage so you get a real number, not a guess.
What influences your estimate?
Storage. We do not charge for one month of storage on long-distance moves. If your new home isn't ready yet, your goods will remain in our secure, climate-controlled facility at no cost to you.
Delivery Window. Transit time depends on the type of load and the season. Typical transit time ranges from 7 to 10 days for a dedicated trailer; a consolidated load typically takes longer. Prior to leaving, we will confirm your delivery window so you always know when to expect us. Please allow additional time during the winter months because of conditions on the mountain passes.
Basic valuation coverage is included in every long-distance move with High Stream Moving at no cost. As part of every move, we protect all of your furniture by wrapping it in large, thick moving blankets before loading it onto our trucks. If you have expensive or fragile items, you can add Replacement Value Protection, which covers the full repair or replacement cost of your items rather than a fixed amount based on weight. When we give you your quote, we'll explain your options thoroughly, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected along the entire 4,370 km trip.

Toronto and Vancouver give people the best of two very different worlds, and many find the West Coast a better fit for the lifestyle they're after. The two cities have completely different cultures, and a large number of people feel Vancouver suits them better day to day.
Culture is another major difference. Vancouver has a much more relaxed lifestyle than Toronto, with a great deal of emphasis on outdoor activities and healthy living. Skiing at Whistler, hiking the Grouse Grind, and eating fresh seafood on the waterfront are everyday activities. Stanley Park alone has over 400 hectares of green space and walking trails right in the urban core. If you also enjoy active nightlife with plenty of clubs and restaurants, you'll find those in Vancouver, too.
Vancouver is also one of Canada's most diverse cities. Its economy is especially strong in the tech, film, and gaming industries, with studios and technology campuses continuing to expand. With the right qualifications, job hunting in those fields can be easier here — and while Toronto still has the largest overall job market, plenty of people decide the trade-off is worth it.
One thing we always tell clients: you should seek temporary housing first to explore neighbourhoods before signing a lease. Vancouver has no major highways through the city centre, so where you live has a big impact on your daily routine. Here's a quick read on the main options.
Kitsilano is the most popular landing spot for professionals coming from Toronto. Beaches, coffee shops, great transit connections, and a clean city feel. Mount Pleasant offers more affordable housing options and has become a hub for creatives — a good choice if you're watching your budget, since rents in Vancouver tend to run higher than in Toronto.
West End sits on the edge of Stanley Park. Dense, walkable, active nightlife and a tight-knit community. Coal Harbour is waterfront luxury — condo buildings with marina views, and our team knows exactly how to handle elevator bookings and building access in high-rises there.
Gastown is for those who want historic architecture, great restaurants, and a short walk to the financial district. And if you're relocating with family, Kerrisdale and South Granville are quieter, more residential, and well-served by TransLink — which connects the Greater Vancouver Area via the SkyTrain.
Before signing anything, BC's Residential Tenancy Branch is worth reading – the rules are different from Ontario's.
Many people consider renting a truck and taking a long-distance move on themselves. We understand! Here's what that actually involves:
You will drive from Toronto to Vancouver for over 40 hours behind the wheel. Imagine how much longer that takes across four provinces, driving over Rogers Pass at an elevation of 1,330 metres, and needing chains in winter. This is not a holiday road trip — it's work. Keep in mind that BC law requires winter tires or chains on most highways from October 1 to April 30, and mountain conditions can change fast.
Your property — your furniture, fragile items, and everything else that belongs to you — must be properly packed and secured for 4,370 km of road. Things shift, and things break. And then you arrive exhausted and have to unload it all yourself.
We have taken great care to ensure that your move is done as stress-free as possible. Our team uses the proper equipment to transport your household items, proper straps to secure them, and takes great care in handling fragile items so they arrive undamaged at your new home. For larger moves we most often use a dedicated trailer — all your possessions in one secure truck, with no shared space with strangers. You either fly or drive your own vehicle, we meet you at your new address, and your household is delivered to you in the same condition you left Toronto in.

Toronto → Kitsilano
After making the move (4,370 km across Canada) with our toddler and an entire apartment, I was apprehensive to say the least. Thankfully, the High Stream team made this whole process feel manageable and came through for us. They wrapped everything with care, arrived in Toronto right on time, and delivered to Kitsilano when they said they would. Not one item was damaged. I would recommend them to anyone making a move like this!
