CR Movers Inc
Long distance
Movers from Toronto to Edmonton: our trucks, our drivers, and a price agreed with you before you book. The move can start in Toronto or in any GTA city we serve.
Toronto to Edmonton
You send two postal codes and photos, and we come back with a price that is agreed before you book. Then the load leaves your door in the GTA on our own truck, crosses about 3,400 km, and is unloaded at your address in Edmonton.
Highway 17 through Northern Ontario to Winnipeg, then off the main Trans-Canada at Portage la Prairie and onto the Yellowhead: Yorkton, Saskatoon, Lloydminster, Edmonton. It is no longer than the road to Calgary, though Edmonton sits about 300 km further north.
How much is moving, the carry at each end with its stairs or elevator, the dates you need, and any packing or storage you ask for. The price is agreed with you before you book, not discovered on the day.
Three things to settle before the truck leaves. Packing, by the crew, with rented boxes. Junk removal, by our own crew, for the furniture that is staying behind for good. And storage through our partner Key Storage if your dates do not line up.
What we need
Two postal codes, the one in the GTA and the one in Edmonton, and photos of what is moving: that is all a first number needs. WhatsApp is the fastest way, and the sales office answers seven days a week.
Three dates on your side of the move. An Ontario driver's licence has to be exchanged within 90 days of becoming an Alberta resident, even if you travel outside the province in that time. OHIP covers you until the last day of the second full month after you leave Ontario. And the clocks: Alberta stays on Alberta Time, UTC-6, all year since November 2026, so Edmonton is one hour behind Toronto in winter and two in summer.
Straight answers. The blog has a guide to moving from Ontario to Alberta or B.C., and the storage page covers the gap between two closings. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

About 3,400 km, much the same as Toronto to Calgary. The usual road leaves the main Trans-Canada at Portage la Prairie, just west of Winnipeg, and follows the Yellowhead, Highway 16, through Saskatoon to Edmonton. Going by Calgary and up Highway 2 instead adds more than 300 km.
Because none would be true for your move. The price depends on how much is moving, the stairs or elevators at each address, the dates, and any packing or storage you ask for. We agree it with you before you book. Send the two postal codes and photos and you get a first number.
Longer than the 35 to 40 hours the road takes to drive: federal rules limit how long a commercial driver may drive in a day, and loading, unloading and the season add their part. We do not print a number of days here: your delivery window is set in the quote, before you book.
Early, and with a range of dates rather than one day. Summer and month ends fill up first, on this route as on every other. Send the dates you can do when you ask for the price and we tell you what is free. Our peak season note has more.
Colder than Calgary or Toronto, and yes. January averages about -12°C at Edmonton International, against about -8°C in Calgary and -5°C at Toronto Pearson, on Environment Canada's 1991 to 2020 climate normals. Tell us what in the load should not freeze, and we tell you before the day.
Yes. A vehicle last registered in Ontario must pass an Alberta Out of Province Vehicle Inspection before it can be registered in Alberta, and you get the inspection request from a registry agent before you go to the inspection station. The registration has to be switched within 90 days of moving.
On the first day of the third month after you establish residency, if you apply for the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan within three months. Apply later and the start date is set when you register. Applications go through a registry agent, so the health card and the plates can be the same errand.
Yes to all three. The crew packs on request, with boxes that are rented, not sold. Storage runs through our partner Key Storage, on their terms, if your dates do not line up. Ask us where the load would wait before you book. And what is not making the trip can leave with our own junk removal crew before the truck is loaded. The packing and unpacking page has the detail.
CR Movers is CVOR registered and WSIB covered. Ask us for the current certificates when you book and we will send them with your quote.
