Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, is about 1,250 km from Montreal. The truck crosses to the South Shore, follows Highway 20 to Rivière-du-Loup, then crosses New Brunswick through Edmundston, Fredericton and Moncton.
This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with furniture protected for the road and a price set by free quote, based on your volume, access and date.
From a plex in the Plateau to a downtown condo, we match the crew and truck to your home. For a move within the city, see our Moving Montreal page.
When leaving Montreal, plan the truck’s parking a few days ahead: depending on the borough and the street, a permit may be required, with lead times ranging from 24 hours to 5 business days. In an apartment building, also book the service elevator and let the superintendent know when loading starts.
Halifax is on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec: keep this in mind when setting the arrival appointment. In downtown buildings, book the service elevator; for a house, describe the access and where the truck can park.
For an interprovincial move of this length, prepare a detailed inventory of furniture, boxes and fragile items. Keep your documents, a first-night box and the keys with you; in Halifax, one person on site guides unloading room by room.
After Highway 20 to Rivière-du-Loup, Highway 85 crosses Témiscouata to the New Brunswick border. Route 2, the Trans-Canada Highway, then goes through Edmundston, Fredericton and Moncton; in Nova Scotia, Highways 104 and 102 lead to Halifax through Truro.
Allow about 12½ hours of driving, not counting breaks: a trip of this length is usually done over more than one day. Note also that Nova Scotia is on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec. The delivery date is agreed with you when you get your quote.
A move to another province takes a little more preparation: a detailed inventory, clearly labelled boxes and a list of the valuables you carry yourself. Also think about the steps that come with changing provinces, such as your driver’s licence, vehicle registration and health insurance.
Pack a suitcase for the days on the road and your first days in Halifax. Tell us if some furniture needs to be taken apart or if some items need special protection.
Many Montreal homes are upstairs, with outdoor staircases that are sometimes spiral. Tell us the floor, the type of staircase and your heaviest furniture so we can plan the crew and loading time.
Depending on the borough, a space may need to be reserved for the truck in front of your door, with a permit or temporary signs: check with your borough a few days before moving day. In a tower, book the service elevator and loading dock.
On the Halifax peninsula, especially in the South End and North End, older houses often face narrow streets; in Dartmouth, Bedford or Clayton Park, there are more houses with driveways and buildings with elevators.
Tell us where the truck can park, and book the elevator if you are moving into a building. In winter, overnight parking bans may apply: check the rules with the Halifax Regional Municipality.
