Moving From
Canada to The United States
Moving across a North American border can be as simple and straightforward as moving within your own city, providing you take the time to obtain the necessary information and to get the required paperwork in order.
Each year, Parkway Van Lines moves hundreds of families across the Canadian/ U.S. border. Over the years, we have gained valuable experience and make every effort to provide our customers with accurate information and advice.
However, as the relocatees, you should be aware that neither Parkway Van Lines nor any other mover has any direct control over the enforcement of customs regulations or policies. Therefore, we encourage you to directly contact the appropriate agencies or consulates to obtain detailed information, specific to your individual situation.
In some instance, it will be necessary for you to obtain pre-clearance certificates or to post bonds in accordance with various regulations. Your mover cannot make these applications or arrangements on your behalf. It is your responsibility to do so. In some instances, your employer or their solicitor can assist in these matters, so it is always wise to consult with them as early in the process as possible.
This Web Site has been prepared by Parkway Van Lines. It will provide you with an overview of the most common issues to be considered during a cross border move. Where possible, we have provided contact numbers for the various agencies or government bodies who can more directly respond to your inquiries.
We have also prepared a brief resource list of useful Web sites, available on the internet which you may want to check out.
We would highly recommend that you do your research and make the necessary contacts, well in advance of your actual moving date, since it sometimes takes time to get everything in order.
