UK to Canada Removals: Door-to-Door Delivery Across Every Canadian Province
Verified IAM partner network across every Canadian province. 1,500+ customer reviews. A family-run Essex business – not a broker, not a middleman
Canada presents a delivery challenge that no other destination quite matches. The country spans six time zones, has two official languages, and routes shipments through entirely different ports depending on where you are going, Vancouver for the West, Montreal or Halifax for the East. Getting your belongings from a UK collection point to a specific Canadian province requires more than a shipping line. It requires a verified partner network that covers the full distance.
That network is what Trunk Logistics brings to every UK to Canada removal. Through our IAM membership we work with certified partners across Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and beyond. Partners held to the same professional standards we apply at the UK end. Combined with our own packing crews, our own fleet of 25 vehicles, and a single named contact managing your move throughout, you have complete visibility of your shipment from Essex to your Canadian front door.
- Collections from anywhere in the UK by our own crews. Not passed to third-party couriers
- Export packing using materials rated for transatlantic sea freight to Canadian ports
- FCL and LCL container shipping routed correctly for your destination province
- B4/B4A customs documentation prepared by Trunk Logistics before your shipment departs
- Door-to-door delivery across all Canadian provinces through IAM-certified partners
- Own-facility UK storage before your shipment dispatches, and province-level destination storage available through our IAM-certified Canadian partners on arrival

Moves to Canada From The UK - Delivered To Any Canadian Province
Every Trunk Logistics Canada removal follows four defined stages. Your destination province, port routing, CBSA documentation, and inland delivery are all confirmed before a single item is packed.
Survey, plan, and fix your price
A member of our own team carries out your survey in person or by video. We confirm your shipment volume, determine FCL or LCL, identify your correct Canadian port routing based on destination province, and prepare your B4/B4A customs documentation in advance. Your fixed all-inclusive price is confirmed at this stage, no changes after booking.
Pack and collect using our own crews
Your belongings are packed by our own export-trained crews using materials rated for transatlantic sea freight. We collect from anywhere in the UK using our fleet of 25 vehicles, your collection is planned around your schedule. Whether you are in London, Scotland, Wales, or anywhere else in the UK, our own team handles your collection directly
Ship on the correct route with CBSA documentation already prepared
Your shipment is loaded by our own container loading team and dispatched via scheduled sea freight on the correct route for your Canadian province, East Coast through Montreal or Halifax, West Coast through Vancouver. B4/B4A documentation prepared by Trunk Logistics before departure is coordinated with our IAM-certified Canadian partners on arrival. Correct provincial routing and complete paperwork is what keeps your shipment moving through CBSA clearance.
Delivered to your address across any Canadian province
Once cleared by CBSA, your shipment is transported from port to your property through our IAM-certified Canadian partner network. Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, or a more remote provincial address, inland transport and final delivery are coordinated by your single Trunk Logistics contact. You are updated at every milestone. You never chase us for information.
How long does a UK to Canada removal take?
Most UK to Canada moves take 7 to 11 weeks door-to-door by sea freight. Canada’s geographic scale means transit time varies significantly depending on which province you are moving to and which port your shipment enters through.
- Ontario and Toronto (via Montreal): 7–9 weeks door-to-door
- British Columbia and Vancouver: 9–11 weeks door-to-door via West Coast routing
- Alberta, Calgary, and inland provinces: additional inland transport time from port applies
- Air freight: available for smaller time-critical shipments, 1–2 weeks, but at significantly higher cost
East Coast shipments route through Montreal or Halifax. West Coast shipments follow a different transatlantic lane entirely. Choosing the wrong port routing adds both time and cost, which is why your destination province is confirmed at survey stage before your shipping method and price are fixed.
CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) clearance adds working days on arrival. Shipments supported by complete and accurate B4/B4A personal effects documentation move through clearance faster. Incomplete or inconsistent paperwork is the most common cause of holds at Canadian ports. Trunk Logistics prepares all documentation before your shipment leaves the UK.
Your exact timeline is confirmed before booking based on your destination province, measured volume, and chosen shipping method. The full customs process is covered in our guide.

The Partner Network That Delivers Your Shipment Across Every Canadian Province
Canada is not a single delivery destination. It is a country of ten provinces and three territories, served by different ports, different inland routes, and vastly different delivery distances depending on where you are going. Reaching a property in Toronto is a completely different logistical challenge to delivering to Calgary, Vancouver, or a more remote provincial address.
The accreditations Trunk Logistics holds reflect both the standards we apply in the UK and the quality of the verified partner network we use to navigate Canada’s geographic complexity.
Shipping a household across the Atlantic to a country the size of Canada without a verified, province-capable delivery network is where international moves become unpredictable. IAM membership is what ensures yours doesn’t.
What Your UK To Canada Removal Costs
A shared container to Toronto and a full container to a property outside Vancouver involve different port routing, different inland delivery distances, and a completely different cost structure. Canada’s size is the reason online estimates for this route are so frequently wrong.
Trunk Logistics prices every move on confirmed shipment volume, container type, provincial destination, and inland delivery distance, all established during your survey. Your move cost covers everything: UK collection, export packing, container loading, transatlantic sea freight, CBSA documentation, Canadian port handling, and inland delivery to your address. Marine insurance is arranged directly and confirmed before loading. There are no hidden costs so what you are quoted after your survey is what you pay.
Volume determines container size and is the primary cost driver. Provincial destination directly affects price, East Coast provinces via Montreal or Halifax are routed differently to West Coast provinces via Vancouver, with meaningfully different costs. Inland delivery distance adds cost for properties far from the arrival port, particularly in Alberta and other landlocked provinces where road transport from port is substantial.
Online quote tools have no way of accounting for Canadian provincial routing, CBSA documentation requirements, or inland delivery across a country of this scale. The result is a number that changes once the move is properly planned. Trunk Logistics does not work this way, your fixed price is built from a survey, not a postcode lookup.
Over 1,500 customers have reviewed Trunk Logistics on Google and Trustpilot. Being given a price that doesn’t change is consistently among the most cited reasons they would recommend us.

Frequently Asked Questions By Clients Moving From UK To Canada
Why does my destination province matter so much for cost and timing?
Canada routes shipments through different ports depending on where you are going. Ontario and Quebec are served through Montreal or Halifax on the East Coast. British Columbia and Alberta are served through Vancouver on the West Coast. These are entirely separate shipping lanes with different transit times and costs. A quote that doesn’t account for your specific province is not an accurate quote. Trunk Logistics confirms your provincial routing at survey stage before your price is fixed.
What is the B4/B4A form and do I need to complete it?
The B4 and B4A are Canadian customs forms specifically for personal effects being imported as part of a residential relocation. The B4 covers goods accompanying you and the B4A covers goods following separately, which applies to the majority of international removal shipments. These forms must be completed accurately and submitted to CBSA before or on arrival. Trunk Logistics prepares your B4/B4A documentation as part of your move plan.
Do I need to be in Canada when my shipment arrives?
In most cases yes, or you must have a nominated representative or customs broker authorised to act on your behalf. CBSA clearance typically requires your presence or documented authorisation before your shipment can be released. If you will not be in Canada on arrival, this must be planned before your shipment departs. Trunk Logistics identifies this during your survey and arranges accordingly.
What if my Canadian property isn't ready when my shipment arrives?
Trunk Logistics offers UK storage before shipping, destination storage in Canada after arrival, and container storage where required. If there is a gap between your shipment arriving and your property being ready, your belongings are held securely through our IAM-certified Canadian partners until delivery can be properly scheduled. This is built into your moving plan rather than treated as a last-minute problem.
Can Trunk Logistics deliver to remote or rural locations in Canada?
Yes. Through our IAM-certified Canadian partner network we deliver to major cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal, as well as smaller towns, regional addresses, and more remote locations across all provinces. Inland delivery distance and access conditions are confirmed during your survey so the cost and timing of reaching your specific address is accounted for before you commit to anything.
