What preparations should Canadian immigrants make to move?

Moving time is to decide when to move. Only when the moving time is determined can the next preparations be arranged. The moving time is influenced by many factors, so the moving date needs to be determined after comprehensive consideration of various factors. Related factors, such as:

(1) Whether the new home in Canada has been decorated and ready to move in, and whether it is ready to move out in China;

(2) When will you have time to move, and whether the moving date conflicts with working hours or important matters;

(3) Calculate how long it will take to organize, which depends on your own actual situation. Many things take one to ten days, as little as half a day;

Second, understand the cost of moving to Canada.

The cost of international transportation is related to the size of the goods to be inspected, the place of departure and the destination. When you call the moving company to ask about the related expenses, you must know how much furniture to check. If you are not sure, you can send someone from the moving company to evaluate it. After you get the accurate data, you can provide the accurate quotation of the moving company, and whether the price is in your heart. Generally speaking, the door-to-door double-clearing service will include all expenses and the price is relatively high.

Third, choose an appointment moving company.

Choose a regular moving company, and don't look for a moving company that posted small advertisements on the street to avoid being hacked. You can consult 2 ~ 3 companies in advance and choose a moving company with a certain popularity or good reputation.

After determining the international moving company, we will negotiate with the moving company about the moving time, consigned goods, service methods and moving expenses, and then reconfirm the moving time after the two sides reach an agreement. When booking a moving company, you should pay attention to asking whether the other party can provide moving cartons (according to their own needs), whether they are provided free of charge or need to be purchased; Whether to sign a moving contract or not, everyone has to sign a moving contract when moving.

Fourth, determine the items to be inspected.

After confirming the time with the moving company, make a moving list by yourself 10 days in advance, taking the interval as the unit (kitchen, living room, bedroom) or the size of items (large furniture and TV cabinets, bookshelves, beds, etc.). ); Small items are mainly kitchen supplies) or list which items need to be moved and which do not need to be moved temporarily according to the nature of the items used, so as to save moving time and improve moving efficiency. Make a list ten days in advance to give you enough time to think, to see if there are any omissions and what items need to be added. The preparation work during the whole period is often related to the smooth moving process. Bian Xiao suggested: During this time, you can learn more about the customs of Canada online or through friends and relatives, which furniture and objects are difficult to buy or uneconomical in Canada, and which items can be bought in Canada to replace some old objects that need to be moved. Therefore, we must carefully consider all aspects of moving during this period.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Other notes:

(1) What can't I bring when I move and check in Canada?

Generally speaking, the things brought by customers who emigrate and move are written as ordinary items when they declare, and will not involve politics, religion, drugs, pornography and dangerous goods (of course, these things cannot be brought). In addition, it should be noted that Canada belongs to North America, and the inspection and quarantine laws are quite strict. The inspection and quarantine department of Canadian Customs has great rights, such as food (meat), wine (wine, combustion-supporting) and medicine (medicine). Generally speaking, these special projects can be consulted by the staff of international moving companies, who know more about them. Generally speaking, Canadian Customs is relatively lenient towards customers who emigrate and move, and most of them are portable.

(2) Because the Canadian economy relies heavily on the export of forest products, the Canadian government attaches great importance to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Strictly stipulate that all wood products (logs cannot be packed with bark) must be fumigated when entering the country!

(3) The voltage in Canada is 1 10V, but currently 220V is widely used in China, which means that household appliances cannot be used in Canada. If you want to take electrical appliances with you, it is recommended to choose one with a wide voltage range when purchasing. For example, there is an adaptive voltage between 1 10V-230V in the market, and you can use it normally when you bring it to Canada.
