Movers from US to Canada

[anxious-girl]

We plan to move from US to Canada. Can someone recommend reliable movers and give approximate costs of moving a small load of household items from US to Canada?

If anyone has any good or bad experiences to share please let me know. Also any dos and donts.

I paid USD 3500 to move a 2-bedroom apartment from Massachusetts to Toronto. The movers did a great job and I would recommend them if they are your area. It took about 10 days from them picking everything up in the US to delivering at my apartment in Toronto.

Did you have to provide them on any documents supporting the "first time tax free items move"?

Yes, I had created a list of goods to follow when I first landed.

The movers don't need it though. Customs clearance is done after they enter Canada, and that's when you take the documents along and show it to CBSA at the clearing station.

Thanks for your reply. I reside in US. I first Landed in Canada 2 years back - at that time, I didn't create any list of goods to follow. Now when I am ready to move for good - am I still eligible for "first time tax free goods"? If yes, what official forms/steps would I need to take? Appreciate your help.

Moving across borders is a ride. I used Three Movers for my US to Canada move—reliable and fair. Costs vary but still are reasonable. Pack essentials and important documents with you. My tip: check customs rules to avoid surprises. It's a process, but it's doable! Safe moving!
