Moving from Saskatoon to Calgary connects Saskatchewan's largest city to Alberta's economic powerhouse. The 612 km journey takes approximately 6-7 hours, transitioning you from the prairies to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and one of Canada's most dynamic metropolitan areas.
Prepare for moderately higher costs - Calgary's overall cost of living is 5-14% higher than Saskatoon's. Rent represents the biggest difference: Calgary apartments average $1,711 for a one-bedroom compared to $1,183 in Saskatoon - about 30-33% higher. However, Calgary offers a larger job market, proximity to the mountains, and Alberta's advantage of no provincial sales tax.
Our moving teams handle prairie relocations regularly, traveling across the TransCanada and through beautiful Alberta landscapes. We ensure your belongings arrive safely at your new Calgary home, whether you're relocating for work in the energy sector, tech industry, or simply seeking new opportunities.
Your belongings will travel approximately 612 km from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Calgary, Alberta.
Leaving Saskatoon
Before leaving Saskatoon, cancel your SaskPower and SaskEnergy accounts with final meter readings scheduled. If you have a Saskatoon Transit pass, cancel it. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post and notify Service Saskatchewan of your upcoming address change.
You'll need to exchange your Saskatchewan driver's license for an Alberta one within 90 days. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, which is an immediate savings. Update your vehicle registration and insurance through an Alberta registry. If selling your Saskatoon property, research Calgary neighborhoods carefully - the market and pricing vary significantly by area.
Arriving in Calgary
Welcome to Calgary! The city offers diverse neighborhoods: upscale inner-city communities like Bridgeland and Inglewood, family-friendly suburbs like Tuscany and McKenzie Towne, and newer developments in the southeast. Downtown living appeals to young professionals, while the northwest provides easy mountain access. Calgary's proximity to Banff and the Rockies is unmatched.
Set up utilities with ENMAX for electricity and ATCO or Direct Energy for natural gas. Calgary Transit operates buses and the CTrain light rail system. Register for Alberta Health Care within 3 months of arriving. Embrace Calgary's outdoor culture - the city has extensive pathways for biking and walking, world-class skiing is an hour away, and the Calgary Stampede every July is a must-experience.

“Our original movers left us with a giant mess in the back of our uhaul. My wife and i were exhausted. We called in desperation to get a couple pros to help us out. Their men were fully prepared to help us out despite working until 8:00 outside of town.”
