Removals to Canada
UK to Canada Removals
Dimond Movers LTD is an experienced international removals company moving UK households and offices to Canada every month. Canada is a sea-freight destination — 5-6 weeks to Halifax or Montreal on the east coast, 7-9 weeks to Vancouver via the Panama Canal. CBSA form B4 lists settlers effects and, for new Canadian residents, imports are typically duty-free under the settlers exemption. Full export packing, customs paperwork, transit and final delivery handled in-house and via our trusted destination agents.

Canada delivery cities we cover regularly
We deliver into the major Canada cities every month: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton. Rural and inland addresses are handled via our destination agent's shuttle network.
Indicative pricing for a UK to Canada move: £3,200 (20ft sole-use to Halifax / Montreal) up to £11,500+ (40ft sole-use to Vancouver, west coast). Every quote is fixed in writing after a survey no day-of surprises.
Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal — east versus west coast routing
Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal moves ship into Halifax or Montreal (5-6 weeks) then rail / road onward. Vancouver and Calgary either ship west via Panama (7-9 weeks direct to Vancouver) or east-then-rail (6-8 weeks via Montreal-Vancouver rail). We quote both and pick the cheaper for the volume.
Quebec deliveries need the inventory in French — Montreal customs will accept English but Quebec residents relocating often prefer the paperwork match their province.
CBSA form B4 and the settlers effects exemption
New Canadian residents complete CBSA form B4 (list of settlers effects) at first entry to Canada, and a follow-up form B4A when the shipment arrives. Items used and owned prior to arrival are typically imported free of duty and GST/HST under the settlers effects provision.
Alcohol and tobacco have quantitative limits, firearms require separate declarations, and any goods purchased in the 6 months before the move can attract duty. We brief in detail before packing.
Customs and paperwork for a UK to Canada move
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) form B4 required for settlers effects; goods can enter duty-free under settler / former-resident provisions.
Paperwork we prepare and submit as part of every Canada move: cbsa form b4 / b4a (list of settlers effects); valued inventory in english (or french for quebec); canadian visa / permanent resident (pr) card or work permit; passport copy and proof of previous uk residence; sea bill of lading.
Vehicle, motorbike and large-item shipping to Canada
Vehicle imports into Canada require Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) approval — most UK vehicles need modifications; we can refer specialists.
If you'd like to ship a vehicle alongside your move, mention it at the survey stage we can usually coordinate both on the same booking.
Storage before your international move
Many Canada relocations involve a gap between leaving the UK property and the container or van loading. We run secure, insured short and long-term storage at our Crowmarsh Gifford depot useful when you have completed your UK sale but the Canada property isn't ready yet.
Storage is invoiced monthly and can be combined with the export packing and Canada shipment under a single coordinator and single quote.
