Helpful tips for Removals to Canada

Customs Information for importing household goods into Canada

You must arrive in Canada before the arrival of your household goods.

Canada Border Services Agency is the government department responsible for import regulations for all goods moving into Canada. Your move manager will provide advice and guidance on the process as well as any restricted or prohibited items.

You'll need to complete some documentation in advance of leaving for Canada, your move manager will provide the documents and explain what you need to do.

On your flight, you will be asked to fill in a Customs Declaration Card and then you'll need to declare your shipment to Canadian Customs on arrival at the airport.

Once your shipment arrives in Canada you'll need to attend your local Customs office to present your passport and documentation.

Visit the Canada Border Services Agency website for more information.

Moving to Canada

The Canadian government have provided some really useful information on moving to Canada including how you can immigrate, how to prepare for life in Canada (including working, living and language) and what to expect when you arrive. Visit the 'Immigrate to Canada' pages of their website to find out their official guidance.

We've also written this blog to provide you with some more specific information on Moving Household Goods to Canada.

Worth every penny!

We have used Bournes several times over the past 10 years, for both international and local moves.

Each time they have been priced more expensive than competitors, but each time we have been extremely glad we have used them.

The service offered is great from the back office team though to the movers on the day. Nothing is too much trouble and any questions or concerns you have are answered and addressed quickly and with ease.
Overall they have taken the stress out of moving for us and done it with a friendly smile throughout !
We would not hesitate to use Bournes again

I found the service exceptional. When we had a slight challenge (nothing to do with Bournes) Leon took ownership and kept us fully informed as the matter was resolved addressing out of normal hours to accommodate the time difference. Brilliant service from start to finish will definitely use again
