Trusted Removals to and from Canada Regal Moving & Storage

Moving from the UK to Canada involves several key considerations. If you’re relocating long-term, you’ll need the appropriate visa or permit, such as a work permit, study permit, or permanent residency via one of Canada’s immigration programmes (e.g., Express Entry). Early registration for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) is essential for employment, banking, and accessing public services.

Canada’s customs regulations require a detailed, itemised inventory of all personal belongings you’re importing. If you’re moving permanently, you may qualify for duty-free import of household goods under the “settler’s effects” exemption, provided all conditions and paperwork are met.

Housing across Canada varies from high-rise apartments in cities like Toronto and Vancouver to detached homes in suburban and rural areas. While most homes offer good access, urban centres may pose challenges with street access or lift restrictions. Planning for this in advance helps prevent delays during delivery.
