City-to-city and coast-to-coast moving
Start with your origin, destination and inventory. A regional move to Ottawa and a longer journey to Vancouver have different receiving and timing requirements, but both need access information at each property. Use the coast-to-coast service page for interprovincial planning and the route directory for a directional city page. The directory separates Canadian routes from border crossings so you can start with the right preparation.
Prepare residential or commercial belongings
For a household, list furniture, cartons and special items and decide which packing tasks you want the team to handle. For an office, identify departments, destination zones and essential equipment that must remain usable until the final stage. Confirm what is transport work and what needs separate technical installation. A written scope lets you compare proposals for the same shipment.

Possession dates, storage and receiving
Tell the coordinator when you must leave and when you can receive goods. If those dates do not align, ask about a storage arrangement and later delivery, including handling and access terms. Keep keys, documents and everyday essentials with you. Before delivery, confirm an authorised receiving contact and the room plan. Use the cost guide to identify volume, services, timing and property access that affect the quote.
