What is a Long-Distance Move?
A long-distance move is when individuals, families, or businesses relocate to a new province or territory within Canada. A long-distance move is different from local or intrastate moves. Local moves are typically within the same city, while intrastate moves remain in the same province.
At North American, we are the experts in all three types of relocations. We'll help you create a custom plan that meets the unique needs of your move.
