Start planning at least 8 weeks in advance to ensure a smooth transition.
8 Weeks Before Moving
You should do a thorough cleaning of your home, develop a list of everything you plan on taking, obtain three written estimates from movers, and research other services.
6 Weeks Before Moving
Select a company, set the date of the move, review your moving estimates, and decide if you will require assistance for packing or storage.
4 Weeks Before Moving
At least four weeks prior to your anticipated moving date, set up the Canada Post mail forwarding service to ensure you will not miss receiving your mail. As you prepare for your move, start to change your address on all of your important accounts, including registration, subscriptions, banks, insurance companies, and any government agency that holds your information.
