I would like to know, is there some kind of transportation/relocation services in Canada, when you decide to move/relocate to new house/apartment. So they help you with moving big things, like couch, tv for example or PC, to your new apartment within Canada?

Sure - there are many moving companies. Just google "moving company" + the city you're located in and you'll get lots of hits. Almost all moving companies have a minimum number of hours you have to hire them for if you are moving. So I would expect to pay several hundred dollars at a minimum.

And if you want to save some $$$; you can always rent a truck/cargo van from U-Haul, Ryder, Penske, Budget etc. For this, you'll drive the truck yourself, pay rent/day and mileage cost. If you have a helping hand and moving within city/province then this is cost effective choice. But if you're moving out of the province; then you may have to hire long distance moving companies.

When you hire moving company; they will charge by their hour rate ($50~$100/hour). Most times, you can only hire people for minimum 2 hours. It also depends on how many rooms your apartment/house have. But you can always bargain and negotiate. To find local moving companies, try Google, Kijiji, Craiglist or Yellowpages.

FYI, I rented a U-Haul truck last year and moved from Toronto to Sarnia. My friends helped me. I'm actually moving again within Sarnia this month and will be doing same.
