Booking your moving company early is one of the most important steps in any relocation. The moving industry in Canada has peak seasons, and the best companies fill up fast. At Swift Mover, we recommend booking as early as possible — especially if your move falls between May and September.
Local Moves: For moves within the same city or province, aim to book at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance. This gives you enough time to compare quotes, read reviews, and lock in your preferred date.
Long Distance Moves: For cross-province relocations, we strongly recommend booking 8 to 12 weeks ahead. Long distance moves require more logistics — route planning, overnight accommodations for crew, and larger trucks. Our long distance moving services team can walk you through everything during a free consultation.
Summer Moves: June, July, and August are the busiest moving months in Canada. If you are planning a summer move, book 10 to 12 weeks in advance to secure your date. Last-minute availability during peak season is limited and often comes at a premium.
End-of-Month Moves: The last and first days of the month are the most requested dates since most leases align with month-end. Book even earlier if your move falls on these dates.
Last-Minute Moves: If you are in a time crunch, contact us directly. We do our best to accommodate urgent requests, though availability cannot be guaranteed on short notice.
