CR Movers Inc
Long distance
Movers from Toronto to Montreal, on our own trucks with our own drivers. The move starts in Toronto or in any GTA city we serve, crosses into Quebec on the 401, and is priced with you before you book.
Toronto to Montreal
You send the two postal codes and photos of what is moving. We come back with the price and the crew, and you agree both before you book. The load then crosses a provincial line, which leaves you a short list of Quebec paperwork on arrival.
About 550 km. The 401 runs east to the Quebec border, where it becomes Autoroute 20 into Montreal. By car that is around five and a half hours of highway, which describes the road and not your delivery.
The size of the load, the stairs and elevators at both ends, the date, and any packing or storage. Montreal adds a question of its own: where the truck can stand on your new street.
Pack what you can, or have the crew pack with boxes rented for the move. What is not worth carrying 550 km can go first: junk removal is done by our own crew. If Montreal is not ready, storage runs through our partner Key Storage: ask us where the load would wait.
Start here
One in the GTA, one in Montreal, plus photos of what is moving. WhatsApp is the fastest way to send them, and the sales office answers seven days a week.
Then look at the calendar. In Quebec most housing leases end on June 30, so many people move at the same time every year, and July 1 is known there as Moving Day. The province's housing tribunal said so in a Moving Day notice, and it still holds. If your Montreal lease starts that day, send us the date the week you sign.
The truck and the crew come from our yard at 6 Tracey Blvd in Brampton, load at your door in Toronto or elsewhere in the GTA, and head east. CR Movers is CVOR registered and WSIB covered.
Straight answers. The long distance moves page has every route, Toronto to Ottawa is the shorter run east, and storage covers dates that do not meet. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

About 550 km. The 401 runs east to the Quebec border and carries on as Autoroute 20 on the other side. Tourisme Montréal puts the drive at around five and a half hours of highway time in a car. That is the road. Your delivery window is a separate matter, set in your quote before you book.
Yes. We take long distance moves anywhere in Canada, and that includes the run back west. Our trucks and crews go out from the yard in Brampton and we have no base in Montreal, so tell us the two addresses and your dates. We come back with the price before you book.
It depends on the borough. Montreal sets the rules for moving trucks borough by borough, and some of them ask for a permit to occupy the street, requested ahead of the day. Choose your borough on the City's page, park a moving van or moving truck, and send us what it says with your postal codes.
90 days. After a move from another province, the SAAQ gives you 90 days to register the vehicle in Quebec, as its notice to people who move (in French) says. Your Ontario driver's licence is exchanged for a Quebec one at the SAAQ too. Ask for the current deadline when you book that appointment.
Usually within three months of registering. RAMQ, the Quebec health insurance board, says coverage for people arriving from another province usually begins after a maximum of 3 months, and that you remain covered by your home province's plan during that period. Register when you arrive: the steps are on RAMQ's eligibility page.
Yes, once the car is registered in Quebec. Vehicles registered there must be winter-ready from December 1 to March 15. The rule does not apply to vehicles registered outside Quebec, so it starts for you the day you change the plates. The province lists which tires qualify.
How much is moving, the access at both ends, the date, and any packing or storage. A third-floor flat up an outside staircase on the Plateau is a different job from a condo with a loading dock in Griffintown. Send photos of both ends. The price is agreed with you before you book.
As soon as you have a date, and sooner still if the date is July 1. Summer and month ends fill up first on our calendar, and Quebec's Moving Day is both at once. Give us your date range and we tell you what is free. Our peak season note has more.
