About Your Halifax to Toronto Move
Moving from Halifax to Toronto is a major cross-country relocation spanning approximately 1,800 km. This journey connects Atlantic Canada's largest city to Canada's economic powerhouse, opening doors to new career opportunities and the energy of a world-class metropolitan area.
Prepare for higher costs in Toronto - overall, Toronto is about 12% more expensive than Halifax. Housing represents the biggest difference: average home prices in Toronto exceed $1 million compared to around $588,000 in Halifax. However, Toronto offers higher salaries, better public transit (reducing car dependency), and lower grocery prices.
Our long-distance moving teams specialize in cross-country relocations. We handle the logistics of this 4-day transit carefully, ensuring your belongings arrive safely at your new Ontario home. We coordinate pickup and delivery windows so you can plan your travel accordingly.
Your belongings will travel approximately 1,800 km from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Toronto, Ontario.
Leaving Halifax
What to Know When Leaving Halifax
Before leaving Halifax, cancel your Nova Scotia Power and Heritage Gas accounts with final meter readings scheduled. If you have a Halifax Transit pass, cancel it. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post - especially important for a cross-country move where mail may arrive at your old address for months.
You'll need to exchange your Nova Scotia driver's license for an Ontario one within 60 days. Update your vehicle registration and insurance - rates vary significantly between provinces. If selling your Halifax home, your equity will be a valuable down payment on a Toronto property, though the markets are quite different in scale.
Arriving in Toronto
Your Guide to Toronto
Welcome to Toronto! Canada's largest city offers incredible diversity in neighborhoods and lifestyle options. Consider downtown living for walkability, North York or Scarborough for more space, or the inner suburbs like East York for a neighborhood feel. Research transit carefully - proximity to the subway can eliminate the need for a car.
Set up utilities with Toronto Hydro and Enbridge for natural gas. Get a Presto card immediately for TTC transit. Apply for an Ontario health card - there's a 3-month waiting period for OHIP after moving from another province. The pace of life is faster than Halifax, but you'll find communities from every corner of the world and endless cultural, dining, and career opportunities.
