Great team at both locations I am so happy I choose Great Canadian Van Lines and feel very fortunate to have Wade and his team do my move

   Exceptional Company Provided Exceptional Service

   Great Canadian Van Lines is hands down the best moving company I've ever used, and I've moved a lot — across the country several times, plus shipping my entire household to Europe and back. That kind of experience gives you a pretty good basis for comparison, and this company is in a league of its own. The estimate was clear and reasonably priced, with no surprises later. But what really made the move was Katie and Brodie. They were exceptional — careful, respectful of my belongings, and I had a lot of fragile, valuable items that needed real care. They were also just kind and courteous to work with the whole time. Brodie in particular went above and beyond. I left a Sharpie sitting on the lid of a tote in Calgary, and when my things arrived in Montreal, that same Sharpie was still sitting right there on the lid. That's the level of care and attention we're talking about. I can't recommend Great Canadian Van Lines enough. They're so good I almost look forward to my next move — just kidding! I'm a very happy customer who's hoping to stay put for a while.

   An Outstanding Moving Experience

   From start to finish, our experience with Great Canadian Van Lines was nothing short of exceptional. It all began with Sean, our estimator in Winnipeg, who was incredibly professional and accurate. His estimate was absolutely spot on, which gave us confidence right from the beginning. Our driver, Wade, was phenomenal. He was punctual, organized, friendly, and communicated with us every step of the way. You could immediately tell he took pride in his work and genuinely cared about making our move as smooth as possible. On moving day in Winnipeg, only one mover, Dave, was able to make it instead of the expected two. Despite that, Dave worked incredibly hard all day without ever slowing down. His work ethic was truly impressive, and he handled everything with care and professionalism. When our belongings arrived in Parksville, Wade was right on schedule, just as promised. He was joined by Bryce and Chad, and the three of them were an outstanding team. They were efficient, organized, respectful of our new home, and placed everything exactly where we wanted it. Even more impressive—not a single item was damaged during our move across the country. Moving can be stressful, but this team made it feel effortless. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care exceeded every expectation we had. We cannot thank Sean, Wade, Dave, Bryce, and Chad enough for making our move such a positive experience. We would recommend Great Canadian Van Lines without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, professional moving company. Thank you for making our cross-country move a perfect one! Mike & Pat

   Trans-Canadian move Montreal to Victoria

   Daniel and his crews at either end of the country were professional, friendly and very efficient movers with experience that showed. I will be hiring them again as I will probably be moving again in a year or so. Thank you Daniel

   Alberta to Ontario move

   Great experience overall. Candace (coordinator) was somehow able to set up our move in just three days.Very organized and kept us up to date on what we needed to do and the overall move progress. Steve (mover and driver) was great with our large and delicate furniture and made sure our items arrived on time and in excellent shape. Moving is usually pretty stressful, but these guys made it into an easy experience. What more can you ask for?

   New Brunswick to BC move: Beyond 5 stars!

   If I have to option to give beyond 5 stars, I'll do it! Kudos to the guys who worked with us: Lukas (ON), Harman (AB), and Nav (BC). Great people, super friendly, and very approachable. I highly recommend GCVL for anyone moving within Canada. Great service and great value for your money. They will take care of everything you need--moving, hauling, inventory, and your peace of mind. Everything came well and they treat your stuff with care.

   Move from Montreal to Edmonton

   It was my first time doing a long-distance move and I felt very nervous about the process. Great Canadian Van Lines is very organized and always went above and beyond to reassure me and address my concerns. A big thank you to Ammar and his team who did the pickup. They were professional, fast, and took great care of my belongings. I did not pack properly (my boxes were not full-lesson learned) but they told me they will do their best to make sure no item is damaged during the move. I am also very grateful to Iyad the dispatcher who helped me coordinate the delivery date and navigate many rules that my building had. We had to change the delivery date three times and he was always incredibly understanding. Finally, a big thank you to Harman and his team from Provincial moving. They delivered my belongings and were also professional, fast, and reassembled all my furniture. Nothing was damaged in the process!! Although this move was costly (quote I had was higher than other moving companies), I never worried about my belongings and received them ahead of schedule. I will definitely hire them again for a long-distance move and highly recommend them.

   Our move from Nelson BC to Seabright NS

   We had a great experience with Great Canadian Van Lines, and their driver Wade in particular. We had a shipment going from BC to NS, Canada, and it all went so well! Wade was a great communicator and while we were still travelling across Canada, he was already delivering our boxes to our house ? He made it all work really well and we are very thankful for it. We are now home and unpacking our boxes, and they’ve handles them all carefully. Thanks again, Wade!

    Vancouver to Quebec, June 2026

    We were very happy with our moving experience! From start to finish Purely Canadian and Great Canadian Van Lines did an excellent and friendly job. The Cross Canada driver, Ron was efficient and on time as promised!! He was always cheerful and thorough with capable crews at both ends of the move from Vancouver to Quebec. Vancouver crew included Cody, Ronan, and Kevin and the Quebec crew was Jordie, Frederic and Michael. They understood our needs and were very careful with moving all our poseesions and our Toyota truck and camper as well! Safe and timely arrival of everything. Thank you to everyone!!
