Tips for Moving to Ottawa
Reserve Toronto pickup access
Confirm the elevator, loading bay, parking, move-out hours, building rules, and any required certificates with Toronto property management.
Confirm Ottawa delivery access
Review curb space, parking permits, street width, stairs, long carries, elevator dimensions, and whether a smaller vehicle or shuttle is needed.
Prepare for seasonal conditions
Protect floors and entryways at both addresses, and keep weather-sensitive essentials accessible during pickup and delivery.
Measure large items
Check doors, stairwells, elevators, and room dimensions at the Ottawa address for oversized furniture or specialty items.
Plan the first delivery days
Keep identification, medication, chargers, essential documents, and items needed immediately after arrival with you rather than in the shipment.
