About Your Toronto to Kitchener Waterloo Move
Moving from Toronto to Kitchener-Waterloo places you in Canada's fastest-growing tech hub while significantly reducing your cost of living. The 108 km journey takes about 1 hour 20 minutes along Highway 401, connecting you to a tri-city region that's become a magnet for innovation and opportunity.
The Kitchener-Waterloo region offers substantial savings - the overall cost of living is 15-30% lower than Toronto. Housing represents the biggest difference, with significantly lower prices for both buying and renting. Despite lower costs, median household incomes in KW actually exceed Toronto's, thanks to the region's thriving tech sector and strong economy.

Leaving Toronto
What to Know When Leaving Toronto
Before leaving Toronto, cancel your Toronto Hydro and Enbridge accounts and schedule final meter readings. Return any Toronto parking permits and consider whether to keep your TTC Presto card - GO Transit connects KW to Toronto if you need to commute. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post.
Update your address with ServiceOntario for your driver's license and vehicle registration. If you're selling your Toronto property, your equity will go much further in KW's housing market. Research GO Transit and VIA Rail if you'll be commuting - many KW residents work remotely or commute to Toronto a few days per week.
