Are you planning a move in the next few months? Are you left wondering whether you need to postpone or simply cancel your move in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak? While things continue to change every week, and sometimes every day, we’ve gathered all the information that the federal and provincial governments have released to make sure your move meets all the recommendations. If you or anyone in your current home has been diagnosed with COVID-19 or is showing symptoms, we’d recommend postponing your move—it is integral that we all follow the self-isolation protocols that have been put in place. And if your move is scheduled to happen less than 14 days after you return from out-of-country travel, you should postpone your move to adhere to the government order that makes self-isolation mandatory for anyone entering Canada .

It’s the worst-case scenario for any moving house—you diligently pack up your space, schedule a mover, head to your new home, but your property never arrives. Now you’re out the moving fee and a truck-load of your things. This is an all-too-common scenario in the moving industry. Every year, hundreds of Canadians hire one-off movers in an attempt to save money and end up losing their property along with their money. The moving industry was deregulated two decades ago, and we are still experiencing the fallout from that shift.

Or the time you left the nest to move to place that was your own. Packing your stuff was already a struggle. Let’s admit it, searching through classifieds to find a mover with the best price was pretty frustrating. Filling out lengthy forms on websites and waiting two hours for a response only made the search longer. Or even calling a moving company and finding out there’s a minimum restriction of hours for every move. At the end, left with an expensive price tag and unnecessary headache from searching online. The whole time thinking to yourself what a hassle moving really is. That’s a nightmare and sadly nothing has changed with that...
