1. BSF186 along with your excel sheet which had info about all your belongings and the approx value are the ones they will ask 2. Sell it in US before you leave coz later it might be a problem selling it while you are in Canada. I was on a WP there for 1 year so for PR holders rules might be...

Then don't worry about it coz they are in business since a long time and they do handle these day in and out. They are always updated with the local regulations coz otherwise they won't be able to even cross the border. All the very best for your move. Just make sure you take all the documents...

This one is better to check with Upack coz I am not sure about it. Normally it says goods to follow list which means the things that arrive after we move into the country. Since upack is holding on to your items it shouldn’t really matter but better to check with them.

Just in case if things have changed ask upack and they will guide you. While coming back to US they were holding my trailer at border and waited for me to send them all of our I-94 immediately after our immigration clearance at airport. But for Canada I don’t remember them asking me for our...

It should be fine coz it will be in their bonded wear house. You need go for customs clearance to get release of your shipment. Based on if you are on WP or PR they might or might not charge you some tax. Make sure you carry goods to follow list that you gave to upack coz you need that for...

US Canada Auto Transport

Just use uhaul mattress covers to protect the mattress and take them too with you. No need for fumigation or anything. If you want you can get one round of upholstery cleaning done but not required. I booked for 18 ft but my uhaul movers packed up everything at 10ft so saved a lot. I had to move...

I am not sure of your situation and how long you are planning to be in Canada. It’s totally a different world compared to US so be ready for all sorts of surprises there. Weather is killing depending on when you are planning to move. Just take everything you can from US in Upack trailer just...

No my lender strictly didn’t give me the original title and hence service Ontario asked me to get certified title history from DMV and also asked me to produce the proof of paying to get that document. I called DMV from service Ontario office and they were kind enough to send me the receipt in...

I was able to take my car to Canada and register in Ontario with Lender’s authorization letter, certified title history from DMV and fee paid receipt to get the DMV title. However I was on work permit and hence the US Canada Auto Transport did a temporary import. Not sure if for permanent import...

There will be no issues if you have paid off and have original title. If not you need additional docs to register you car. Shipping was easy via aa autotransport. If you can by all means bring your car. Depending on if u r here on work permit or PR the import process changes.

Nope they didn’t allow me to withdraw since I was moving to Canada but was with same company. You can withdraw only when you resign the job it seems.

I had taken their trailer and they had reserved me 15ft space. I hired loading helpers from movinghelp.com an affiliate of Uhaul.com. They did awesome job within 100$ and loaded all my stuff within 10ft. So I saved a lot coz they give back 100 per ft saved. Cube I think you rent it fully and I...

No probs at all. I am happy to share my experiences since I learnt a lot from other's experiences over here and other forums :) No one can beat Upack service is what I felt finally after I compared multiple options. I moved from Texas to Toronto and had a wonderful affordable move with Upack...

We moved on 1st Jan 2019 and used upack door to terminal service. Except that few boxes were wet due to the icing everything went well with the move. No tax since we moved on work permit. For PR holders may be it's different. When you use upack they will handle everything including border...
