About Your Edmonton to Winnipeg Move
Moving from Edmonton to Winnipeg spans approximately 1,300 km across the prairies, connecting Alberta's capital to Manitoba's largest city. This 11-13 hour drive passes through Saskatoon and the vast Saskatchewan flatlands before reaching Winnipeg, known as the 'Gateway to the West'.
Winnipeg offers slightly lower overall living costs than Edmonton. Housing is particularly affordable - Winnipeg's average house price sits around $369,000 compared to Edmonton's $396,000. However, Edmonton offers higher average salaries ($56,176 vs $41,184) and no provincial sales tax in Alberta. Both cities are among Canada's most affordable major urban centers.
Our long-distance moving teams specialize in cross-prairie relocations. We carefully handle the 3-day transit, ensuring your belongings travel safely through Saskatchewan to reach your new Winnipeg home.

Leaving Edmonton
What to Know When Leaving Edmonton
Before leaving Edmonton, cancel your EPCOR or ENMAX utilities and ATCO gas accounts with final meter readings scheduled. If you have an ETS transit pass, cancel it. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post and update your address with Alberta registries.
You'll need to exchange your Alberta driver's license for a Manitoba one within 90 days. Manitoba has provincial sales tax (8% RST) that Alberta doesn't. Update your vehicle registration and insurance through Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI). If selling your Edmonton property, the Winnipeg market is even more affordable.

“Lourik (or Laurik), Kevin, Corbin, Brad and Mark came and rocked the move out of the park. Took great care of the items, as well as the floors/walls. We had some challenging items to move (eg. Elliptical) and they did a fantastic job with all of it. Based on the estimation of the move (time vs inventory), they came in well under as they were fantastically efficient. 10/10 would use again.”
