If you’re planning a move into, out of, or across Canada, there’s a good chance you’ll need to hire a moving company. Maybe you’ve got a brother-in-law with remarkably broad shoulders and an unusually strong back. Or maybe you have a circle of buddies who will work for beer and peanuts. But when it’s time to pack and move your worldly possessions safely from one home to another, you want to be certain that your belongings are in capable, careful hands.

In Canada’s larger cities, the populations are nearly 50 percent immigrants. It’s no surprise then to find that there are hoards of moving companies working to meet the needs of this international populace. And as with any other industry, you’ll find a range of price and quality among the competition. You’ll need to perform your due diligence, therefore, to find the moving company that’s best for you: timely, reliable and affordable.

With your best interests in mind, we’ve prepared this impartial directory of moving companies in Canada. None of these companies have paid to be included in the list, and ARIANNE receives NO commissions based on your selections.

Moving with ARIANNE

Here at ARIANNE Relocation, we’ve been helping families and professionals get situated in Canada for more than 20 years. We guide our clients through the labyrinth of relocation, helping them to understand the local real estate markets, locate the best schools and daycare options for their children, and navigate the bureaucracy of residence and registration in their new land. We specialize in these relocation services, and we are firm believers in the idea that people and businesses should stick with what they do best.

We are experts in what we do, but we are not an immigration law office or a moving company. So if you’re looking for a licensed immigration attorney or a moving company, that’s not what we do, but we can definitely help you find what you need. And because we are not directly affiliated with those companies, we’ll never run into a conflict of interest. Instead, our priority is to help our clients make the best, most well-informed decisions they can.

At ARIANNE, we want your transition to Canada to be easy, smooth and hassle-free. We have a range of products and services to make that possible, including a series of comprehensive Online Relocation Guides that will give you all the tools you need to arrange a flawless move to Canada.
