About Your Kitchener Waterloo to Toronto Move
Moving from Kitchener-Waterloo to Toronto connects you to Canada's largest city and economic powerhouse. The 108 km journey takes about 1 hour 20 minutes along Highway 401, bringing you to a world-class metropolis with unparalleled career opportunities, cultural attractions, and urban amenities.
Prepare for higher costs - Toronto's overall cost of living is 15-30% higher than Kitchener-Waterloo's. Housing will be your biggest adjustment, with significantly higher prices for both renting and buying. However, Toronto offers opportunities in industries beyond tech, excellent public transit, and the buzz of a major international city.
Our experienced crews know both regions well and handle KW to Toronto relocations regularly. Whether you're moving for career advancement, lifestyle change, or new opportunities, we'll ensure your belongings arrive safely at your new Toronto home.
Your belongings will travel approximately 108 km from Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario to Toronto, Ontario.
Leaving Kitchener Waterloo
What to Know When Leaving Kitchener Waterloo
Before leaving Kitchener-Waterloo, cancel your utilities (Kitchener Utilities or Waterloo North Hydro) and Enbridge gas accounts with final meter readings scheduled. If you have a GRT bus pass, cancel it. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post and update your address with ServiceOntario.
Consider carefully whether you'll need your vehicle in Toronto - the TTC is excellent and parking is expensive. If you're selling your KW property, the equity can help with Toronto's higher housing costs. Research neighborhoods carefully based on your workplace location - Toronto commutes can be significant without good transit access.
Arriving in Toronto
Your Guide to Toronto
Welcome to Toronto! Neighborhoods vary enormously in character and cost. Tech workers often gravitate to downtown or the King West area. Families explore the inner suburbs like East York or Scarborough. Young professionals check out trendy areas like the Junction, Leslieville, or Queen West. Proximity to a subway line can transform your quality of life.
Set up utilities with Toronto Hydro and Enbridge for natural gas. Get a Presto card immediately for TTC transit - the network of subways, streetcars, and buses is extensive. Toronto parking is expensive and permits are required in most residential areas. While you'll miss KW's startup community feel, Toronto offers diverse tech scenes, major tech company offices, and networking opportunities unlike anywhere else in Canada.
