Every move includes professional packing materials, furniture protection, and insurance coverage. We coordinate timing, access, and logistics to ensure smooth transitions across all Ontario communities.
Local Moves Within Ontario
Local moves—whether across Toronto or between nearby cities—are our core service. We handle same-city relocations, inter-city moves within the province, and everything in between.
Our teams know Ontario's geography: the fastest routes between Toronto and Ottawa, parking regulations in urban centers, and building access requirements from high-rise condos to suburban homes. We coordinate elevator bookings, loading zone permits, and condo board requirements so you don't have to.
Typical local moves range from 2-6 hours depending on distance, volume, and building access. Four distinct seasons—we plan routes and timing accordingly to avoid delays.
Long-Distance Moves From Ontario
Planning a move out of Ontario? Our long-distance service covers relocations to other provinces and across Canada. We provide detailed inventory tracking, secure loading practices, and clear timelines for pickup and delivery.
For interprovincial moves we coordinate timing with your schedule, offer flexible packing services, and can arrange short-term storage if your destination isn't ready. Most moves from Toronto to major cities in neighboring provinces take 2-5 days depending on distance and weather conditions.
Dense urban centers—we factor seasonal considerations into scheduling and provide realistic timelines for your specific route.

Ontario Moving Tips and Preparation
Successful moves in Ontario require planning around local conditions, regulations, and seasonal factors. Follow these tips from our experienced Ontario moving teams:
Timing and seasonal considerations:
Four distinct seasons—plan moves during optimal weather windows when possible. In Ontario, this typically means planning around winter weather (November-March) which can affect timing and access.
Peak moving season runs May through September across Ontario—book 3-4 weeks ahead during summer months, or 1-2 weeks for fall/winter/spring moves.
Building and access preparation:
- High-rise buildings: Reserve elevator time 2-3 weeks in advance; provide condo board insurance certificates and move-in forms to your building manager
- Parking permits: Many Ontario cities require loading zone permits for street parking—check with your municipality 1-2 weeks before moving
- Winter snow and ice: Coordinate access times with building management for shared loading areas
Packing and protection:
- Start packing 2-3 weeks before your move date, focusing on non-essentials first
- Use sturdy boxes (purchase or request from Boxly) and label each with room destination
- Wrap fragile items individually; avoid mixing fragile and non-fragile in the same box
- Dense urban centers means taking extra care with temperature-sensitive items
- Keep essentials (documents, medications, valuables) with you, not on the truck
Day-of-move checklist:
- Clear pathways from rooms to truck for efficient loading
- Protect floors and walls with padding (our teams provide this)
- Have parking arranged and permits visible for Toronto downtown or urban areas
- Be available for questions about placement, disassembly, and special handling
- Do a final walkthrough before leaving to ensure nothing is forgotten
