About Your Toronto to Halifax Move
Moving from Toronto to Halifax brings you to Atlantic Canada's largest city, known for its maritime heritage, stunning waterfront, and welcoming community. This 1,800 km journey trades the bustle of Canada's largest metropolis for a more relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Halifax offers more affordable living - overall costs are about 12% lower than Toronto. Housing is the biggest difference: average home prices in Halifax are around $588,000 compared to over $1 million in Toronto. While wages tend to be lower in Nova Scotia, the cost savings on housing can be substantial, especially if you're selling a Toronto property.
Our cross-country moving specialists handle Toronto to Halifax relocations with care. The 4-day transit time is carefully coordinated with your schedule. We ensure your belongings travel safely across Quebec and New Brunswick to reach your new Atlantic home.
Your belongings will travel approximately 1,800 km from Toronto, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Leaving Toronto
What to Know When Leaving Toronto
Before leaving Toronto, cancel your Toronto Hydro and Enbridge accounts with final meter readings scheduled. Return any parking permits and cancel your TTC Presto card. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post - critical for a cross-country move where mail forwarding takes extra time to propagate.
If you're selling your Toronto property, you'll have significant equity for your Halifax purchase - likely enough for a larger home or a substantial down payment. Research neighborhoods before you arrive, as Halifax's housing market has been competitive in recent years. Consider whether you'll keep your vehicle or go car-free - Halifax is more car-dependent than Toronto.
