Household Moving from Florida to Canada
Florida-wide pickup with household delivery across Canada.
Viamar reviews your inventory, Florida pickup, Canadian destination, customs category and timing before confirming the transport plan in writing.
Cross-border move: Goods arriving after you should be coordinated with the declaration you make when entering Canada.

A clear four-step moving process
Describe the move
Provide the Florida pickup, Canadian destination, target dates, access conditions and inventory.
Build the route
Viamar reviews volume, handling needs and available routing, then documents the proposed service.
Organize records
Residency category, arrival timing and goods-to-follow status shape the document checklist.
Coordinate delivery
Pickup, border movement and Canadian delivery follow the customs release and booking scope.
Canadian customs planning for household effects
CBSA asks people moving or returning to Canada to provide detailed lists of goods arriving with them and goods that will arrive later. A border services officer uses the information to complete Form BSF186.
Former residents, settlers and seasonal residents do not follow identical rules. CBSA decides eligibility and treatment. Read the official CBSA guidance.
General information only. Customs, tax and immigration treatment depends on the importer, goods and current government requirements.
Pickup across Florida
Pickup may be reviewed from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa, Naples, Sarasota, Jacksonville and surrounding communities.
Delivery across Canada
Destinations may include Toronto/GTA, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and other communities.
What affects the price?
Shipment volume, pickup and delivery access, distance from major routes, packing needs, season, storage and the confirmed transport method all affect the quote.
