Movers from New York to Toronto, door to door, with customs handled
Move Plus moves households from New York City and the surrounding area to Toronto door to door, and can deliver as soon as the next day. We guide you through the Canadian customs paperwork and coordinate the border crossing, and the same crew that loads your home in New York unloads it in Toronto.
How long a move from New York to Toronto takes
With Move Plus: usually the next day
Your things usually travel on a truck dedicated to your move, so they go straight from your door in New York to your door in Toronto, about 800 km, without stops to load other households.
The usual alternative: 2 weeks to 2 months
Many long-distance movers combine several households on one trailer to cut cost. Your delivery date then depends on when the trailer is full and on the other stops on its route.
Starting a new job on a set date?
Tell us on the first call and we plan the move back from that date.
Customs: what you need, and what we do
Moving your household goods from the US to Canada means declaring them to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). We guide you through it from the first call.
The list of your goods
You prepare two copies of a list of everything you are moving, with each item’s value, and its make, model and serial number where they apply, on CBSA’s Form BSF186A or a list of your own. If you prefer, we prepare it for you as an optional add-on, for an additional price.
Your first entry into Canada
You give that list to the border services officer when you first enter Canada to settle, even if your furniture arrives after you. The officer completes Form BSF186 (Personal Effects Accounting Document). Anything arriving later is listed as “goods to follow”; keep your copy of the BSF186, because it is used to release them.
Your documents
A Canadian passport if you are a Canadian citizen. Otherwise, your passport and either your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), if you are immigrating, or the port of entry letter of introduction for your work permit; the border officer issues the work permit itself when you arrive.
Your goods’ crossing
We time the truck’s arrival at the border with your paperwork so your goods are not held.
The rules are CBSA’s: see its page Moving or returning to Canada. We are a moving company and do not give legal or immigration advice.
How the price works
We give you an exact, flat price in writing after a short virtual walkthrough of your home by video call, and that is the price you pay. Moves from New York to Toronto start from $4,500. The walkthrough costs nothing. Call (631) 833-5533.

One team from the first call to the last box, and one person to call: the owner
Moving to Toronto for a hospital job or a paid relocation
Many of the families we move to Toronto are doctors joining a Canadian hospital and people whose employer pays for the move. If your move is paid by an employer or a relocation program, we give you the flat price in writing for them, and we plan around your start date so your home is ready when you begin.

Questions people ask
How long does it take movers to get furniture from New York to Toronto?
With Move Plus, usually the next day: your things usually go on a truck dedicated to your move. Movers that combine several households on one trailer often take 2 weeks to 2 months.
Do movers handle customs when moving from New York to Toronto?
We help. You prepare the list of your goods with their approximate values (or we prepare it as an optional add-on, for an additional price), and we time your goods’ crossing with your paperwork. At your first entry into Canada you give the list to the border officer, who completes Form BSF186; bring your passport and, if you are not a Canadian citizen, your Confirmation of Permanent Residence or the port of entry letter of introduction for your work permit.
How much do movers charge from NYC to Toronto?
It depends on how much you move and the dates. Our moves from New York to Toronto start from $4,500; you get an exact, flat price in writing after a free virtual walkthrough.
Is it better to use one company door to door or to ship furniture to Toronto?
One company door to door means one crew, one price and one person responsible from your old home to your new one. Shipping it yourself usually means a freight company, a separate customs broker and someone to unload at the other end.
I’m Canadian and moving back to Toronto. Can you help?
Yes. Canadians returning home declare their goods to CBSA as former residents, on the same Form BSF186, with the same list of goods.
Where in New York do you pick up?
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Westchester, Long Island and the rest of the area within about 50 miles of Manhattan. We also move to anywhere else in Canada, for example to British Columbia in about 5 days.
