shipping services to canada

Fortunately there are many cultural similarities between Australia and Canada, the majority of us speak English for a start. Moving to Canada is therefore one of the easiest countries to relocate to for any assignments or permanent relocation.

Choosing an international moving company will no doubt be one of the first and most important decisions you make in the relocation process. OSS World Wide Movers move thousands of Australians around the world every year. Being Australia’s only specialist international mover, OSS World Wide Movers can ensure a regularity of shipping to Canada that others cannot.

Coupled with the expertise and training of our staff, potential costly delays can be avoided. For your peace of mind and protection OSS World Wide Movers is a FIDI FAIM accredited company as well as being a member of Americas International Association of Movers (IAM).

If you are sending items which have been packed by yourself “owner packed” then they will attract more stringent inspection by Customs on arrival in Canada.

Providing a detailed carton by carton inventory will assist Customs in inspecting your effects, and may avoid unnecessary delays.

It is advisable to have your goods packed by OSS if you are looking at sending larger consignments, to ensure the clearance process can be conducted with a minimum of fuss.

Shipping motor vehicles and motor bikes to Canada is possible provided Customs criteria are met.

This service is usually depot to depot, meaning the motor vehicle will be collected by you from our partners depot in Canada following customs clearance.

Customs may require evidence that the owner of the vehicle has lived abroad for 12 months or longer, so a copy of your passport with date stamp showing arrival in Canada, or copy of lease or rental agreement on in Canada would be sufficient.

Your pet can be moved overseas to Canada, though it is recommended to send your pet through a registered pet transportation agent who will be able to contact all the relevant agencies in Canada. More information about relocating pets can be found in our moving links section of this website or speak to an OSS World Wide Move Consultant.

Clearance of your move into Canada takes approximately 5 to 7 working days for an FCL (Full Container Load e.g. not a shared container), and 7 to 10 working days for a GRP (Groupage or shared container load) once the shipping container has been unloaded from the vessel.
