Planning Your Move to Canada

Moving to Canada is an exciting step, but when it comes to international household relocations, timing plays a crucial role in how smooth the experience feels – especially for families.

We generally recommend starting the planning process 8 – 12 weeks before your intended move date. This allows enough time to arrange a pre-move survey, prepare accurate documentation, schedule professional packing, and secure shipping space for your household goods.

Early planning helps reduce the risk of delays at origin or destination, ensures your shipment aligns with your arrival in Canada, and makes the overall move far less stressful. For families relocating with children, this extra preparation can make a significant difference when settling into a new home and routine.

At Gerson Moving Services, we specialise exclusively in international household relocations. Our team supports you through every stage of your move to Canada – from export packing and customs documentation to overseas delivery and unpacking – so you can relocate with confidence.

There are countless types of work visas that specify which occupation you can enter Canada to take up. You should conduct your research into which would be best for your specific skills and situation, but there is a list of work visa requirements for Canada that you must fulfil for every work visa. These are as follows: Prove you will leave once your permit expires. Prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family. Obey Canadian law and have no existing criminal record. Be of good health. Have no plans to work for an “ineligible” employer in Canada. Provide any other required documents when requested. You should also check that you meet all the requirements for Covid-19 testing and quarantine in Canada, unless you are exempt for any reason.
