About Purely Canadian Movers
A family-owned moving company built on trust, hard work, and a genuine commitment to doing right by every customer — since 1991.
Our Story
Purely Canadian Movers was founded in 1991 in Coquitlam, BC — and we've been based here ever since. What started as a small, family-run operation has grown into one of Metro Vancouver's most trusted moving companies, but our values have never changed.
From the very beginning, we made a commitment that still defines us today: we would never use subcontractors. Every mover on your job is a direct employee of Purely Canadian Movers — trained by us, accountable to us, and invested in your experience.
Over more than three decades, we've helped thousands of families, individuals, and businesses move across Metro Vancouver, across Canada, and around the world. We've moved everything from studio apartments to corporate offices, from local Coquitlam moves to cross-country relocations from BC to Ontario.
Today, Purely Canadian Movers is BBB Accredited, 5-star rated, and still family-owned. We're proud of what we've built — and we're proud to call Coquitlam home.
Our Values
The principles that have guided Purely Canadian Movers since 1991.
Family-Owned
We're not a franchise or a corporation. We're a family business, and we treat every customer like a neighbour.
No Subcontractors
Every mover on your job is a direct Purely Canadian Movers employee. This is a promise we've kept since day one.
BBB Accredited
Our Better Business Bureau accreditation reflects our commitment to ethical business practices and customer satisfaction.
Community First
We're proud sponsors of the Coquitlam Express Junior Hockey Team and active members of the Lower Mainland community.

Moving across the country? Our GCVL network ensures seamless coordination from pickup to delivery, no matter the distance.
Our No-Subcontractor Promise
Many moving companies use subcontractors — third-party workers hired on short notice with no direct accountability to the company or the customer. We've never done this, and we never will.
When you hire Purely Canadian Movers, every person who shows up at your door is a trained, vetted, direct employee of our company. They're accountable to us, and we're accountable to you. That's the Purely Canadian promise.
