CR Movers Inc
Long distance
Movers from Toronto to Halifax, for a household moving from Ontario to Nova Scotia. The move starts in Toronto or any GTA city we serve, runs about 1,800 km on our own trucks, and the price is agreed with you before you book.
Ontario to Nova Scotia
Like any long distance move, with more road and more to decide before it starts. On a run of about 1,800 km the first question is what is worth taking. We agree the price with you before you book, and your delivery window is written in the same quote.
About 1,800 km through four provinces. The 401 to Montreal, then the Trans-Canada Highway along the St. Lawrence, down through New Brunswick and into Nova Scotia. Around 20 hours of driving, as a fact about the road.
How much is moving comes first: every piece rides the whole 1,800 km. Then the access at both ends, your dates, and any packing or storage. The price is agreed with you before you book.
Decide what stays behind. Our own crew does junk removal, so the old sofa and the contents of the basement do not have to make the trip. The crew can also pack for you, with boxes rented for the move.
First step
The one in the GTA and the one in Nova Scotia, with photos of every room that is moving. On this distance the photos matter: they are how we see what the truck has to carry. WhatsApp is the fastest way, and the sales office answers seven days a week.
Halifax is the usual destination, not the only one. We take long distance moves anywhere in Canada, so a move from Ontario to Dartmouth, Bedford, Truro or the South Shore starts the same way: two addresses and a date.
The truck and the crew come from our yard at 6 Tracey Blvd in Brampton and load at your door in Toronto or elsewhere in the GTA. Summer and month ends fill up first, and a move this long is worth settling early: our peak season note explains how to pick a date.
Straight answers. See long distance moves for every route, packing and unpacking if the crew packs for you, and storage if the Halifax place is not ready. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

About 1,800 km without leaving Canada. The 401 runs to Montreal, then the Trans-Canada Highway passes Quebec City and Rivière-du-Loup, crosses New Brunswick by Edmundston, Fredericton and Moncton, and enters Nova Scotia near Amherst. That is around 20 hours of driving. It describes the road, not a delivery date.
Your delivery window is set in the quote, before you book. We do not print a number of days on this page. Tell us the day you must be out in Ontario and the day you get the keys in Nova Scotia.
Yes. We take long distance moves anywhere in Canada, and Halifax is one destination among many. A move to Dartmouth, Bedford, Truro, the Annapolis Valley or Cape Breton starts the same way: tell us the two addresses, the date and what is moving, and we come back with the price before you book.
That is yours to decide, and it is the decision that changes the price most. Go room by room before you ask for the quote. What you sell or give away does not ride to Halifax, and what is past use can leave with our own junk removal crew before the truck is loaded. Then send photos of what is left.
Yes. Nova Scotia gives you 180 days from the day you become a resident to exchange your Ontario licence for a Nova Scotia one, usually with no testing for a licence of the same class from another province. You hand in the Ontario licence at the exchange. The steps are on the province's licence exchange page.
Yes, if it is a used vehicle that has to be registered there. The Registry of Motor Vehicles asks for a Nova Scotia motor vehicle inspection within 30 days of the vehicle entering the province. Nova Scotia brought in a new Traffic Safety Act in October 2026, so check the current rule and the exemptions on its vehicle inspection page, or ask Access Nova Scotia, in your first weeks.
Usually on the first day of the third month after the date you become a resident. The province gives its own example: resident on 27 September, covered on 1 December. It also tells you to contact your previous province to stay covered until then, so read Nova Scotia's page on health coverage when you move and ask OHIP before you leave.
Then the load waits in storage. Storage runs through our partner Key Storage, who set the storage terms. Ask us where the load would wait, and if your two dates do not meet, give us both when you ask for the quote, so it is planned before you book.
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.
