Moving From New York to Toronto with T2NY Moving Co.

When you are relocating from New York City to Toronto, you need to think carefully about far more than simply having your belongings shipped. There are a number of very important factors involved in getting your items transferred to Canada. As part of that process, you must arrange Canadian customs paperwork, customs clearance and scheduling, your move's logistics, and the safe shipping and storage of your belongings so that you can successfully relocate to your new home. Most New Yorkers moving to Toronto will also face changes in their lifestyle and daily routine. For example, many relocating New Yorkers will need to obtain a new job, navigate different housing costs, convert US dollars to Canadian dollars, pay their taxes to Canada, and adapt to their new daily routines in Canada.

      Our New York to Toronto Relocation Services

      There are many things that can cause anxiety when moving from New York City to Toronto. Many of these issues have to do with the logistics of the move (i.e., packing, transporting, customs and preparing your items for international shipment). When T2NY Moving Co. assists you with your move, we will help alleviate the stress of the logistics of moving from New York City to Toronto. We do this through the careful organization of all the details involved with relocating anywhere in Toronto proper, including downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke and the rest of the GTA.

      Long-Distance Transportation

      T2NY Moving Co. manages the logistics of your long-distance transportation from New York to Toronto to ensure that your shipment arrives on time and safely. We use secure moving trucks and have extensive experience with cross-border relocations between the United States and Canada. Transit from New York to Toronto typically takes 2 to 3 business days depending on your origin in New York and destination in Toronto.

      Packing and Preparation

      The experienced movers at T2NY Moving Co. will use professional packing materials to ensure your furniture, electronics, household goods, and fragile items are properly packed for long-distance transport. Our staff will ensure all of your personal items are properly prepared for international transport so that the risk of damage is minimized when moving from New York City to Toronto.

      Customs Documentation Assistance

      Moving across the border means that you must complete your customs documents accurately and correctly for Canadian customs officials. Our staff will assist you in preparing all necessary customs paperwork — including CBSA Form B4 (Personal Effects Accounting Document) and your complete inventory list — so that potential delays in clearing your shipment through customs will be minimized.

      Storage Options

      Do you need temporary storage for your belongings until you're able to move into your new apartment or home in Toronto? T2NY Moving Co. provides our clients with short-term storage options for as little as 30 days, or until you are ready for final delivery.

      Our mission is to provide the best possible service to our clients and help every customer transition to living in Canada as smoothly as possible while providing stress-free moving services from start to finish.

      Why New Yorkers Are Moving to Toronto

      Thousands of Americans — and returning Canadians — make the move from New York City to Toronto every year. The reasons vary, but several stand out consistently.

      • Cost of living. Toronto's housing costs, while significant, remain considerably lower than Manhattan and many parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Many New Yorkers find they can afford more space, a quieter neighbourhood, and a different quality of life in Toronto's diverse communities.
      • Healthcare. Canada's publicly funded healthcare system is one of the most common reasons American residents and returning Canadians cite when making the decision to relocate. For families in particular, this is often the deciding factor.
      • Returning to Canada. Many of our clients are Canadian citizens or permanent residents who lived in New York for work or school and are ready to come home. Whether relocating to the neighbourhood they grew up in or starting fresh in a new part of Toronto, T2NY Moving Co. has helped over 1,000 clients make this transition since 2014.
      • Career and opportunity. Toronto's technology, finance, and creative industries have grown significantly, drawing professionals from New York who are looking for a different pace alongside strong career prospects.
      • Family. Cross-border families are common along the New York–Toronto corridor. Many of our clients are reuniting with family, following a partner who has already relocated, or moving closer to aging parents in the GTA.

      "I was returning to Toronto after six years in Manhattan and had no idea how much the customs process had changed. T2NY walked me through the CBSA Form B4, helped me prepare my inventory list, and made sure everything was in order before we even loaded the truck. The move took just under three days. Everything arrived in perfect condition and I had zero issues at the border."

      "We moved from Park Slope to Etobicoke with two kids and a full three-bedroom worth of furniture. T2NY handled the customs paperwork entirely on our end and coordinated building access in Toronto. The pricing was exactly what they quoted — no surprises. The crew was professional and careful with our furniture. Would absolutely use them again."

      "Moving from Astoria to Scarborough for family reasons. T2NY explained the difference between what I needed as a new permanent resident versus a returning citizen, which helped me prepare the right documentation. The actual move was smooth — three days from Queens to our new place in Scarborough. Highly recommend for anyone doing this route."
