What to know before the deposit

We found no provincial mover licence in Manitoba. The Consumer Protection Office hears, mediates, and investigates consumer complaints, and offers voluntary mediation where a matter is not covered by legislation.

A move that crosses into another province or the US follows the contract and the rules where the company is based. Ask, in writing, which company holds your goods on the road and what it pays per pound or per item if something breaks.

Questions people ask

Do movers need a licence in Manitoba?
Canada has no federal mover licence, and we found no provincial one in Manitoba. A commercial carrier based here holds a National Safety Code number from the province, which is a trucking safety credential, not a mover licence. Ask for it, and check that the legal name matches the truck.
Where do I complain about a mover in Manitoba?
Manitoba Consumer Protection Office (1-800-782-0067). Keep the contract, the invoice, and every written message. A card payment can also be disputed with your issuer.
What does a move within Manitoba cost?
Reviewers reported a median of C$1,100 for moves that stayed inside Manitoba, across 44 priced reviews. A reported price is what one household paid, not a quote.
