Codie and Chris are amazing. They were professional, very polite and personable. Ask for them personally if you can…it is worth it. Their work was thorough, precise and complete. Believe it or not, they actually made the arduous task of moving fun! Overall, the company in total is top notch. Iris, your first point of contact, is very knowledgable, thorough, and helpful. Alot of moving companies deserve poor reviews…..not this one!!!
Thankyou all!
Harry and his team were awesome! Handled all our belongings with care and delivered it on a timely manner. Very efficient, friendly, and reliable. Highly recommend!
Great experience! Made the stress of moving a lot easier. The driver, Cody communicated very well. He was friendly, efficient, and a great problem solver.
Had a great experience with this company!
Was a nervous customer moving across the country on my own but had nothing but great customer service through the entire move with amazing communication.
Shout out to my driver Wade that was both easy to work with and efficient. The fact that he was able to maneuver his truck into the most narrow street in my city was something else . I’d recommend him for any moves you are considering.
Thanks to all for a smooth move 😊
Very professional from beginning to end.
Friendly, efficient, punctual, kept me informed re:arrival, stayed in touch. We actually had fun. Everything was delivered and no damage
We had an exceptional experience with Great Canadian Van Lines Limited in our move from PEI to Winnipeg. We had a small window as we had to fly into PEI , have our items packed up and fly out. Lisa, our contact, explained the process in detail. The videos helped to guide us through the steps. There were no surprises in the final bill and the moving crew in PEI and the one who actually delivered our goods were fast and professional! We had a seemingly daunting task to complete and were very well taken care of by all members of the team. We would highly recommend this service.
We moved across the country from Vancouver to Toronto and used great Canadian van lines. Amar (our mover) and his crew were exceptional. Amar was extremely professional and friendly, very efficient in packing up and moving, making sure all our items arrived in great condition. Highly recommend and would request him specifically. Thank you again to him and the team!
Amar and his team at GCVL did an excellent job of organizing the loading of our goods, transporting them from Vancouver to the Toronto area and unloading. All with minimal fuss and no misplaced goods (!). I would heartily endorse and recommend Amar — he was a pleasure to work with
I recently moved from the Vancouver area to Halifax, and Great Canadian Van Lines made what is usually a very stressful experience absolutely seamless. The entire process, from booking to delivery, was handled with professionalism, care, and excellent communication.
The crews on both ends of the move were fantastic. They worked efficiently, treated our belongings with great care, and maintained a friendly and professional attitude throughout. I’ve relocated several times for work, and this was my first experience with Great Canadian Van Lines- by far the best move I’ve ever had. I won’t be looking anywhere else for future moves.
A special mention goes to Eddie, our driver and point person. His communication, leadership, and management of the entire process, from loading to unloading, were outstanding. Eddie truly went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly.
Behind the scenes, Sara and Kyle were also excellent, always available to answer questions and provide updates. Their responsiveness and professionalism made a huge difference.
Thank you to the entire Great Canadian Van Lines team for delivering such a positive, stress-free moving experience. You’ve truly set the standard for how a move should be handled!

Great Canadian Van lines and Steve in particular were super professional and easy to work with, and our goods were delivered ahead of schedule and in perfect condition. Great experience all around!
Amar, words are not enough to let you know how much your thoughtfulness will remain always with me. Not only did I have the backing of GCVL for outstanding service delivery that was incredibly seamless , smooth as silk from start to finish, but they sent me their STAR. Amar is a charismatic leader and he sets the standard for respect and integrity very high. His teams were hardworking and kindhearted and professional in the way they conducted themselves. Kudos to all and a sincere thank you.
Amar was a superstar. Difficult move into a building that has to be said were power tripping on their rules, but Amar and his team didn’t flinch. Professionals through and through. I would definitely use GCVL again.
These movers did a fantastic job from start to finish. Very polite, accommodating and helpful,they arrived on time as promised and were very careful with our precious goods. Congratulations to Jas, Yad and R. K. ????
Just a perfect, seamless process. Booking, all done on email and virtual, was quick and easy. Wade C, Robin and Rowan did my load out. I was at breaking when they arrived, and Robin put her arms around me and said “we’ve got it from here”. And was she ever right. Everything was organized, efficient and stress-free. On loaf in, it was only Wade, but you wouldn’t know it. He was the equivalent of a full team plus an ox – again easy, efficient and careful. I would not hesitate to book with Wade’s team again. I can’t thank you enough
Ron and Sara were organized and made my big move seamless. The entire team was very quick and professional
Guys were so accommodating. Helped me put furniture in place and put tables back together. Willing to work around my dogs and left my home as clean as when they arrived. Happy crew and lovely to deal with. I had a better time with them than our government moving company.
Team was professional and experienced in packing and moving. Head of the moving team, Yad, was efficient and kept his good humour even when the two packing helpers didn’t show up,the next day. He had only one helper and he was extremely organized. They managed to load our entire house in a day. Our belongings arrived safely after 12 days in storage with no damage. We appreciated the experience that Yan has and would recommend him as the lead for clients contemplating a move.
Amazing service! I am someone who gets anxious a lot when it comes to moving. You’re putting all your stuff in someone to transport all the way somewhere you don’t even know yet – in our case (Ontario to BC). Steve and his team did a great job grabbing all our stuff (1 bedroom) in around an hour and a half and delivering it to BC all in one hour. The timeline they give you is very good. We arrived and the next morning they were at our home unpacking. Everything was extremely organzied and amazing communication and emails from GCVL and Steve.
I’ve moved more times in my life than I can count, but I’ve never come across a moving company that can hold a candle to Great Canadian Van Lines. With GCVL, you get the feeling they want to give you the best moving experience imaginable. From the first conversation I had with moving consultant Candace Frick, I knew something was different. It all begins with the conversation. Candace was warm, funny, smart, able to answer all my questions – and most of all – interested in me. Plus, she actually pursued my business – calling me to see if there was any more she could do to help my decision making. I also dealt with Kyle – GCVL’s operations manager. Excellent again. There’s definitely a corporate culture of catering to the customer at GCVL. Candace and Kyle exhibit it in spades. As it turned out, a serious health problem prevented me from going through with the move I’d been planning, but I wouldn’t hesitate in giving GCVL a loud five-star recommendation. These folks are simply THE BEST.
Highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines. Great communication from the customer experience person, Sara, that patiently answered my many questions, and changed my order as needed. The Dispatcher was also great at soothing my nervous questions regarding the pick up and delivery process. The men, both in Montreal and Vancouver, that picked up, wrapped and delivered my items were efficient and very friendly. All items made it safely to the final destination. All the great reviews I read online are well deserved. Many thanks Team CCVL!
We moved from Toronto to BC, and Paul and his team were efficient, reliable and friendly. He called ahead of time to let us know the exact date of delivery and also on the day of delivery to let us know they were on their way. Our goods were delivered quickly and we have a lot of glass items and furniture with glass but none were broken. Upon arrival at our new place, Paul set up a station where items that pass through it can be ticked off from our list and he made sure that everything was delivered before leaving. Also appreciate that we received useful information from GCVL regarding what to expect during move out and move in days. We had a great experience with GCVL and would definitely recommend them.
Harry was so helpful and went above and beyond, was very straightforward about cost and super communicative on either end. highly recommend!
Friendly and fast service. Ron is very kind and fair. He was able to deliver my things quickly and efficiently and all of my things arrived in perfect condition. His staff was also friendly, courteous and fast. I’d highly recommend using Ron and GCVLs. I have used them for the my last three moves.
Incredible customer service from the first call, to the packing up, and the delivery and unloading across the country! Moved from Ottawa to Calgary and the team delivered all our goods, with no broken items, in the time range they set!
What sets them apart is taking the time to educate me on the regulatory standards for the industry and how to spot scams.
Ron was amazing. Knew what he was doing and very organized and very efficient. Definitely 100% recommend. If I could give more stars I would
Big move across country, first move in over a decade and my anxiety levels were high. From start to finish communication was open, helpful and honest. Got a decent quote, had a speedy efficient pick up and delivery was well within the window given. Paul and Harman were great about calling off the numbers while they brought my belongings in. Friendly, helpful, careful with the property and my goods. Just all the things to reassure and make a nervous person not quite so freaked out. Thank you, would totally recommend to others if they have a move in their future.
Codie was our mover and he was amazing! Such a kind hearted bubbly guy who took care of my stuff from Ottawa all the way to Alberta. The communication was amazing and I am so thankful to have gotten him as a mover. Thanks again Codie!
I recently moved from Ontario to Alberta and my experience was wonderful from consultant to my actual move. Candace (my consultant) was able to provide me with a competitive quote and a ton of information to help me decide which company to use. She was always prompt and kind with her responses. The driver for my move was Codie. He was also wonderful. Came in, laid down runners so the floor didnt get dirty, wrapped up my furniture, and labeled everything. It was quick and easy and he was very friendly. For delivery, I only had a tiny bit of damage to one piece of furniture (an edge on a built particle board dresser), which I honestly expected it to be worse as particle board doesn’t travel well. All other boxes and items were intact and delivered with no issues. I even had a glass cabinet that I shipped that had no issues, and I honestly didn’t expect that to make it. I would definitely recommend Codie as your driver! He takes great care of your items. Overall, if doing another long distance move, they will absolutely be my first call!
Harry and his crew were competent, considerate and professional. They moved our belongings to another province so that nothing was missing or damaged. We definitely recommend them.
Delivered a priceless heirloom from Ontario to BC in a week. Stayed in communication and provided regular updates. Provided door to door delivery. Handle fragile item with utmost care. Cannot thank Codie enough!
We have had a great experience with the company. Paul and team did the loading in Oakville and were quick and efficient. On the drop off we had Jas and Vinny who were great and accomplished all the unloading at two locations with speed and efficiency.
I had a small move across canada. Everything was great from start to finish with my items treated with respect, Amar was the driver and picked up in Ontario and dropped off in BC. The experience I had was great and was in direct contrast with the company I had tried to hire previously who stole my deposit. Items were delivered exactly how they were picked up. Highly recommended for a cross country move.
Very impressed with the service of Jas and Vinny in Calgary, moved things around without any issue and were very efficient!
Would use great Canadian van lines again!
They helped me for my big moving from Vancouver to my Edmonton house. They made the trip in two days only and took a lot of care while loading/unloading my 3000lbs of stuff.
I definitely recommend to deal with them.
Moved from Vancouver to Montreal and the service was amazing. Hats off to Mr Amar Sidhu who explained everything very patiently and everything was delivered on time. Highly recommended

I am so grateful to Candace and Amar to organize my move so smoothly, peacefully and stress free.
I am very impressed by services provided, they are highly professional people.

Thank you so much!

Great Canadian Van Lines and Parkview movers were amazing. Extremely helpful, efficient and friendly. They went out of their way to make our move seamless and stress free. I highly recommend these movers.
John and the team were very professional and helpful. I’d recommend them anytime.
GCVL is awesome! sara helped me out from the onset and answered my many questions, which helped my anxieties with such a big move! (from NS to BC!). eddie showed up right on schedule and my stuff was on it’s way in a jiffy! they showed up when they said they would! i’m grateful for such a smooth experience and the opportunity to work with an awesome team! thanks for the move!
We had a great experience from start to finish. Candace in customer service was responsive and extremely helpful throughout the process. Amar Sidhu and his team handled both pickup and delivery with professionalism and care, which gave us confidence in sending our belongings across the country.
Jas and Yad were awesome! Thank you for being so fast hardworking and efficient. Would book this company again any time
Great experience. Driver Don was great. Highly recommended.
This company helped us with an extremely difficult move from Ottawa to Vancouver Island, in limited time. Sara helped us schedule everything and was an absolute gem. The first crew was Rob I think & 2 others who were excellent. The next crew Jas & Prabh were excellent from communicating with us the arrival, to unloading & more. This company was the right one to go with & I couldn’t be more pleased with how it all went. Thank you guys so much for helping us in such a busy/stressful time in our lives. Amazing customer service. Keep up the good work! Thanks again
Fantastic experience with Arsh and his team. Everything was done efficiently, carefully and Arsh in particular was straightforward and fantastic to deal with. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent service!
I definitely 💯 recommend this company. The driver Amar And his partner Kept me informed.. I completely felt confident and thank you for keeping my Belongings safe..
Great experience with Sara through emails and phone calls to understand the process and get an estimate. The movers arrived on time and handled our stuff with care and skill at both ends of the move. Great option for moving across the country.
Excellent service. Thanks a lot.
Excellent move.
Communication was spot on.
2nd move with GCVL and we have been very happy with them and highly recommend them.
Excellent service and communication. Pick up and delivery was perfect. All items were protected well and handled with care. Amar and his partner were wonderful throughout the process. Highly recommend!!
The service was great. The movers came on time, packed everything with precision and we received all our goods in a timely manner from Vancouver to Winnipeg with everything intact. We appreciated the communication at all levels , at all times.
A true 5-star experience. I can’t recommend this company enough. I had heard/read many horror stories about the moving industry and was diligent in ensuring that we found an honest company with people whose aim is to be professional and dedicated to the service.
The Great Canadian Van Lines (also going with the name “Purely Canadian Movers”) followed every step that I have read as industry best practice.
Our move was across the country. Iris (our first point of contact at the company) was kind and professional. She was very accurate in estimation of the weight of our items, at the end we ended up paying less. (Note to future customers: Don’t accept over the phone quotes. Iris did a detailed video walk-through with us in order to estimate the approximate weight of our items. Go watch CBC Marketplace episode on moving industry. )
Amar (our driver) was a great communicator. His communication about moving date and timeline was accurate. He held true to the time he promised from packing until delivery. On the day of packing and moving the team that showed up were very cautious with our stuff. They packed meticulously. We were very impressed that all of our items made it to destination without even a scratch. (We had many big glass and mirrors and all made it to the new home!). On the day of delivery the team (another group plus Amar) were on time and fast in offloading. Considering the cross country drive it was impressive how accurate Amar’s timelines were. The delivery went seamless with all items delivered as promised.
A big thank you to Amar who made this long cross country journey a lot less stressful!
Very professional and friendly. Items were well packaged and delivered without damage. Highly recommend
Outstanding service from Great Canadian Van Lines! From Ms. Lisa Peterson’s excellent communication to Ron, Jack, and Chuck’s careful handling of our items — including delicate electronics — everything was on time, professional, and stress-free. Highly recommended!
A wonderful company!
Iris was absolutely amazing to work with. She totally understood our needs, and extenuating circumstances, and went above and beyond to facilitate our aunt’s move. A wonderful person indeed!
Harry D. and his team were also just fantastic to work with! Harry had timely communication throughout the whole move, always reassuring us and communicating with us about the process and timeline. Items were very well packed and organized. Unloading was very orderly and Harry and his team were very accommodating to our needs of sorting unloaded items. We would 100% recommend this company! A very positive experience from start to end. Thank you!
Very hard working men. What they do is hard work, and they did it without issues.
You’re the best, awesome job. Thanks 😊
We recently completed a move with Arsh and his crew, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Arsh was very courteous and very professional, he explained every step of the process clearly, and made sure our items were secured properly. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The whole team was efficient, respectful, and careful with our belongings. Highly recommend Arsh and his team for a stress-free moving experience! It was great working with him.
Eddie managed my move from Nova Scotia to Saskatchewan with ease. They were on time, communicated effectively and brought me some peace at a very stressful time. My dog can be very aggressive (scared) with men but Eddie handled her with so much love that she was excited to see him on the other end! Big thanks!
Great communication from start to finish, and the work ethic and upbeat attitude of Harry was wonderful. I highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines.
Had an amazing experience with a cross country move! From the planning with Candace to the execution from Codie, it was all super easy and completed in a timely manner. Both Candace and Codie were amazing to work with, provided updates when they could and made a stressful time that much easier for us. Thank you to the both of you.
We had the most amazing experience from start to finish, expertly handled by Candace Frick. Nothing was too much trouble, she went above and beyond to help me and my family. Thank you
As i clicked on sponsered ad form FB i sent in a request for a quote and i got a reply, i was asked to speak to Candice , And from our 1st Phone contact we clicked and connected as what i was in need for my move .

Totally professional team. Fantastic communication at every stage. Very efficient at loading and delivering our possessions. The team were very polite and made our cross country move a lot less stressful.
Very professional, kind and considerate. Worked very hard to make sure I was happy….and I am! Highly recommended.
Moving across the country is stressful but GCVL made everything stress free from start to finish. Yad and Jas are excellent, they kept me on the loop during the delivery process. They took good care of my stuff and no damages. I highly recommend GCVL.
Yad and Jas were great. They were punctual very polite and friendly. Put my belongings where I asked. Great job well done!
This is the second time we have used Great Canadian Van Lines to move significant distances across Canada. Each time we had excellent service and would recommend them to others.
It was a flawless pickup and delivery. Everything was on time and in same condition when delivered as it was when it was picked up.
Sam the driver/mover was very professional and called before arriving on both ends.
Top notch service. This is our second cross country move with Great Canadian. I have never been disappointed. Won’t hire anyone else. Timely and clear communications, remarkably accurate quotes, adaptable service and an excellent polite and friendly team and driver each time. No bs; they just get it done.
I hired them to move from winnipeg to Ottawa. I had hired a different company to move the year before from calgary to winnipeg and that was a complete nightmare, spmi was very apprehensiveabput having to hire a moving company again. But Steve G, my driver, was absolutely fantastic. He made the move so easy. He took exceptional care of my belongings and was very professional, the delivery was very smooth too and Steve was very attentive that everything was placed in the correct room. The quote I received was very close to the actual final bill which I really appreciated.
Definitely would recommend you asking for Steve to be your driver. He truly made the whole experience a breeze.
Excellent moving experience across the country — Ron B and his team were meticulous, the process was very efficient, and all my items arrived safe and sound. Thank you!
We had a great experience with the team from quoting to moved into our new home. The admin team is responsive and helped with all our questions. This moving team became an ally on our 2800 km move across Canada. We really loved that the team that loaded our stuff was the same crew that met us at the new home. Fantastic experience all around !
I had an amazing 5-star experience with Amar S moving me from the East Coast to the prairies. It was my first time using a company like this and I was initially nervous about the experience. Now that I am settled in, all of my belongings arrived safe and sound, and communication was always easy throughout the process. I will be recommending this company moving forward to colleagues, friends, and family.
I recently relocated to Calgary from Toronto and finding a moving company was definitely a daunting endeavor from the start. I did some research and was completely spammed by some local companies.
I read for hours on reddit threads and scoured the internet for reviews and recommendations, almost falling for TWO scam sites that gave me fake (suspiciously cheap) estimates. Luckily I was able to find out that these companies were scamming their customers, adding fees and holding their property hostage. (Or people were waiting weeks for their things to arrive on location)
If you’re like me you are that stressed mover right now. Well stop your stressing and hire Great Canadian Van Lines.
From the beginning I was connected with Sara, who corresponded with me through email, explaining their process and answering my questions quickly and professionally. Thank you Sara!
Yes it was pricy. Then again I moved across the damn country! (A U-Haul estimate was actually more expensive than hiring GCVL which is absurd as you pay for gas and drive yourself this way.) Moving is stressful and expensive regardless and if you want it done right, you should consider this company.
My final charge was LOWER than the estimate based on weight, and this process was explained to me clearly. The movers arrived and busted their ass moving my stuff. They were done in three hours, tagging and wrapping items and making sure my valuables were packed properly.
There was under $120 of packing fees, regarding items I did NOT pack properly. This was fair and explained to me.
They arrived in Calgary exactly when they said they would and moved my things into storage. There was an extra fee as it was a second floor, which was fair and explained to me. (There were no hidden fees, every charge was logical and transparent, they even offer YouTube videos explaining their process)
All said and done I had a FIVE STAR experience with GCVL and am strongly recommending their service to you! So take a deep breath and let the professionals do their thing!
I recently moved from Ottawa to Vancouver and had a great experience with Great Canadian Van Lines.
Huge shout-out to Harry and Sean! They were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the move smooth and stress-free. Everything arrived on time and in perfect condition. I really appreciated their hard work and clear communication throughout. Highly recommend for any long-distance move!
When I moved from Toronto to Vancouver our movers were horrible (broken furniture, lost items, hidden charges). When we had to relocate back to Toronto from Vancouver I really did my research and decided to use GCVL. From the moment Iris visited me at my apartment for the initial assessment for a quote I knew I was in good hands. She answered all my questions and was incredibly understanding. When Eddie and his team arrived the load in was smooth as silk. They even allowed me to watch the weigh-in at the scales. Communication was seamless as Eddie was as the actual driver moving my goods across the country. Zero hiccups. I can’t believe the same person who helped me in Vancouver was the person I saw in Toronto. Truly unique, white glove service. These guys are pros.
I moved from BC to Ontario . I had a great experience with Great Canadian Van Lines from the initial quote to the final delivery. They were professional, efficient and kept me posted throughout the move. They wrapped all the furniture and delivered in a timely manner. They placed the furniture and done without any problems or scratches. They took care of contacting the building manager for elevator times. I was very impressed with their process. Eddie the driver was professional and delivered exceptional service
I used Canadian Van lines, had driver Steve G and his team and another Steve helping me coordinate a cross provincial move from Toronto to Vancouver in under a month! NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE THE BEST RATES for moving but they are quick, efficient, and the quote I was given on the phone was very very in line with what I actually paid! I paid a bit above the quote as last minute, I added more items! Steve G the driver and his team were quick and efficient with loading my belongings and unloading! They helped me speedily dissemble furniture and even gave me suggestions on cost saving throughout! I would utilize them again and again!!!! No hiccups, issues or stress! For reference, my belongings were picked up May 22nd in Toronto area and I received them June 8th the same week I arrived to Vancouver! It was the BEST
They handled our 2000km move well. Each mover was efficient and polite. The company handled our furnishings with care. The driver Daniel was exceptional! Highly recommend.
Ron & the team did great job overall, the company lives up to their 4% claim Rate. Only one dresser had minor temporary fixable damage. However the dresser still wobbly & needs to be replaced.
( one of the helper movers in Vancouver was knocking our Ikea furniture saying it wasn’t good quality because of the wood they use I’m sorry but whatever people have if it’s in excellent condition when you move it it should stay that way, not everybody can afford solid wood furniture, regardless of the quality if something is intact before a move it should stay that way)
Our $250 Foam mattress topper was damaged and ripped up the topper when we took off the tape that was put directly onto the foam ( which was was done by the mover who knocked our Ikea dresser) It could have been wrapped in plastic then taped which would have been a better idea. Nothing else was broken in the long Trek from Vancouver to Montreal 😃
The Claim process was fast & easy after emailing Sara.
We just used this company to move from Kamloops to Winnipeg and had a great experience. Starting off with the consultant, Candace, who was incredibly knowledgeable, from doing the initial estimate virtually with us to always having answers to our questions. Jas and his moving team were great from start to finish. They were accommodating in every way by getting our stuff to Winnipeg as quick as possible, making sure we understood how the moving in process of things worked, and even took ownership of the one broken item in the move and were quick to assure us it would be taken care of on their end. I would 110% recommend this company to my friends and family, very easy to work with. Thank you to all who helped us!
Jas and his whole team did an excellent job during our move from Vancouver to Manitoba. When I make business with them in the future, I would definitely contact them.
Recently used Great Canadian for a cross country move. The delivery went very smoothly. My driver, Amar Sidhu, was professional, communicative, and handled everything with care. He made the delivery process feel organized and stress-free. Really appreciated his excellent service. The delivery crew, Harsh S and HP were excellent, too. Thanks, team!
Huge shout out to Robin and his team (Gurmukh and Sukhi)! Great experience all around. Everyone was pleasant, efficient and professional. I felt all my goods were safe and well taken care of. GCVL gets my hightest rating!
No comments to say, these people are great, thank you Jag and Jas, keep doing the 👍
Was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Sales and dispatch kept us informed from our first contact, Jas and his team of packers and movers took care of our stuff like it was their own. Arrived at our remote destination as promised with all our furniture and possessions in perfect shape. Unloaded and placed things where we wanted them. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.
We had a great experience with GCVL. They moved us from Alberta to Ontario. All items were carefully packed and arrived undamaged. It took about a week to deliver our stuff. They used runners to protect the flooring and both homes were left in great condition. We originally obtained 5 quotes and while they were not the cheapest, they were still very competitive amongst other long distance movers. I highly recommend using them.
GCVL moved my household goods from the west coast to the east coast of Canada. They were extremely helpful thru the whole process from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone considering using moving company. Amar N was the driver + his team were excellent and took very good care with all items. Thank you Amar N + team & GCVL
I’ve moved across the country two times with Great Canadian Van Lines and I highly recommend it. They were very professional throughout the whole process, fair prices, and very responsive in their communications.
Second time I’ve use their service and I’ll use it again 100%
Excellent communication. Great customer service. Super smooth move!
Steve and his team made our move so easy! From organizing and packing everything to delivering it all to our new home, they were kind and organized and thorough! Will definitely recommend them to my friends and use them again the future.
Jas and his team did an excellent job moving our stuff across several provinces. They took great care in loading and unloading. Things arrived intact with no damage. I highly recommend their services.
We recently moved from Edmonton to Toronto & cannot say how happy we are with gcvl. From the get go, we got to interact with amazing people such as Sara who booked us in, helped us with our inventory etc, to Codie who absolutely was the best driver hands down. Our entire house was loaded and unloaded almost magically by the team. The team loaded our stuff into the truck within 2 hours and unloading was equally seamless. In addition to all this the communication between the team and us was flawless. We were always aware of things & had information very quickly, if needed. I do recommend GVCL.
Ron and his team, both at the pick up in London ONT and the delivery in Calgary AB were excellent. We were kept informed of the movement of the truck and Ron is a total professional with a fantastic sense of humour and he also has great people skills. He is bright, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for customers. I would give Ron and both teams 5 star plus ratings. GCVL has a winner here. And this statement would be incomplete if I did not mention the amazing Candace. Moving is a trying experience especially for seniors and Candace was always kind, compassionate and reassuring on the phone. GCVL and its subcontractors are absolutely the best. Dr. Anton Allahar
Really friendly staff, everyone was clear and easy to talk to and ensured I knew everything I needed to know. All the logistics were sorted and they arranged a pick up really quickly.
For the move it was perfect. Moved from a storage unit in BC to Ontario, and I couldn’t be there when they picked everything up. It all went off without a hitch, everything was protected really well, the transit was about 2.5 weeks and unloading was quick and easy. Nothing damaged or scraped, genuinely flawless stuff.
I would definitely recommend them!
For cost reference I had about 1500lbs worth of stuff (small studio apartment) which was about $3400 to go cross country.
This is the second time using Great Canadian van lines. I recommend them. The staff are very professional and friendly. The driver picked up the boxes early and delivered them earlier than expected. He did it with joy, and professionalism. He truly seems to love his job. Thank you again to all the staff who worked with me on the phone, through emails, driving or carrying it into my place. Thank you.
Great experience with our move from start to finish, we received a first class service which was seamless & stress free, our move from Ontario to Manitoba handle with high professionalism & integrity, our stuff arrived in great condition & on time.
I will definitely use the company again or recommend anyone I know moving to move only with the best & the name is Great Canadian Van Lines.
A big thank you to the all star team Sara, Emily & Kodi you all are the best!
I highly recommend this company for your moving needs. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, kind, communicative, respectful, honest, and the list goes on. I am so grateful to this company because I got scammed by a fake moving company called BC Express Movers. Please be careful!
Great Canadian Van lines showed extraordinary Patience and empathy as I hired them before anything major happened with the fake company. I am so grateful for how this team took care of my property and Or sensitive towards the emotional impacts of a giant move across the country. They are very safe and reliable company with great drivers. Amar is exceptional!
My move was from Mississauga to Kamloops, BC.
Wade and his associate showed up early for my pick-up from the U-Haul storage. Wade was amazing with the tractor trailer, he was unbelievable on how he maneuvered (in reverse) the tractor trailer into such a small space! Unreal, that was experience and skill, top notch. Already I was impressed. They carefully wrapped items and documented everything. This was on Mar.22/25. I arrived via flight to Kamloops on April 1/25. I received a text from Wade on Wednesday stating that he will arrive on the morning of Friday April 4/25. He arrived bright and early Friday morning in Kamloops. The offloading went well and all my belongings arrived. The only thing that was damaged was my bed frame. (I found the damage later when I was assembling my bed). Overall, despite that, I am extremely impressed with the service, my anxiety level was awful but they made it easy and I was in constant contact with the office asking questions. Their customer service was exceptional. I would recommend Great Canadian Van Lines, they were reasonable, friendly and very informative. I researched and contacted others but their prices kept changing. Again, very professional and overall satisfied.
Hi, Just wanted to mention that my husband and I were very happy with the work Kuki, Paul and other men did in packing and moving our furniture and belongings so carefully and attentively. My daughter also had a move last year with the same transport company and was extremely happy with the results. Thanks again, Mahnaz
Ron and his team were great to work with and made my move a stress-free process. Easy to communicate with and extremely accommodative. Very thankful for their attention to detail and care with everything!
Moved from BC to Manitoba and the crew and company went above and beyond our expectation
This was my second cross-country move with GCVL, and I wouldn’t consider using anyone else. Professional, thorough, flexible and efficient, from the office staff through dispatch, the driver Eddie and loader Chris, all made a stressful process as smooth as possible. I can’t thank them enough.
Wade and his team were absolutely phenomenal! They made my long-distance move from Ontario to Kamloops, BC feel effortless. From the moment they picked up my belongings to the final delivery, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. Every step of the way, they ensured I had peace of mind—and my items arrived in perfect condition. They even went the extra mile by coordinating the transport of my car through one of their trusted partner agencies. I can’t recommend them enough! If you’re looking for an stress-free move and a team that truly delivers, Great Canadian Vanlines are the ones to call.
What a fantastic experience using this moving company! I am very impressed with their work ethic, the communication at all levels, their honesty with the quotes. Everything was numbered and upon delivery, items were matched and checked off. Wade and his crew were great, they were on time, very careful with our items.
Great service. Harry and Shaun did great job and were very friendly
Harry and his crew were friendly, efficient, and careful. They packed everything expertly with plenty of tape and padding, and moved us 10 hours away without any issues. My PC tower and 4 monitors all arrived in good working condition. Even towards the end when everyone’s energy was lower, they remained professional. I can tell he really looks out for his employees, which is something I always love to see. Thanks for getting us to our new home in one piece!
What an impressive mover Daniel is. I was not at the pick up site just delivery. Everything was delivered without a scratch, well wrapped and considering Daniel was alone for the delivery he work quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend this team for your perfect move!
Harry and Sean were absolute life savers and helped us at the last minute get our stuff moved across province from BC to Alberta. Will 100% be using you guys again if I ever need another long distance move
We could not have asked for better service. The team is professional, timely, and organized. Our relocation consultant helped come up with estimates for the move remotely and was very kind during our highly emotional time. Our drivers arrived a day ahead of packing day to assess the location and determine the best way to complete the packing and loading. They were the kindest of souls to our puppies and kitty. ?? The dispatch team is very professional – the border crossing took less than half an hour. Thank you Great Canadian Van Lines for bringing us home!!!
I recently moved from Toronto to Vancouver, and I had the pleasure of working with Kathy at Great Canadian Van Lines to move my belongings and car. The price was very fair, and Kathy was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer any questions and made the transition smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines to anyone in need of reliable and professional moving services. Thank you, Kathy, for all your support!
I recently had a fantastic experience with Great Canadian Van Lines. I have moved many times and this experience by far surpassed any previous experience I’ve had using long distance moving companies. Pick up was seamless. All items were wrapped properly, 3 men loading truck in Winnipeg, only took a few hours. They were kind, courteous, professional and personable. I was flexible with delivery which added no pressure on drivers or myself. When load arrived in West Kelowna, it was put in a storage facility until I get possession date of my home. The unload was seamless. Storage facility was stacked properly. I can’t thank Great Canadian Van Lines Ltd, enough. . From my first contact for quote, quick response, continuous contact and updates. Weight was off, I received a lower rate. Very pleased. And fantastic customer service Well Done everyone at Great Canadian Van Lines Ltd. And to Daniel for a great start to my next adventure. It was not stressful at all. Grateful customer.
I had a long distance shipment from ontario to bc with GCVL and Ron
It was a great experience from start to finish very smooth and on time delivery
Once again thanks a lot
Great experience. Moved from rural Ontario to Vancouver BC. My belongings were then kept in GCVL storage for 2 months. Met the Relocation Sales Consultant, Sara, via email and video. Very responsive, well laid out planning and execution. On time, great crews. The team in Ontario, led by Amar were so well organized. My belongings were moved out and secured in the truck without any issues. Ed, from the Vancouver office, supported some questions I had about what I thought was a lost box or two. He has clearly done this work for a while and solved my concern quickly….boxes were not lost….that was on me!!! I have used GCVL twice now and if I have to do this again, they are my first and only call to make it happen.
I moved from Cambridge ON to Prince Albert SK in the middle of winter. GCVL won my business for the following reasons:
Initial contact, Sarah, was awesome – professional, personable, and responded PROMPTLY to additional email inquiries. I never felt I was ‘just another client’ or that my questions were tiresome, and I was not brushed off simply because I was only moving a one bedroom apt.. Load-on and load-off dates were confirmed in advance and it took only 7 days from load to unload, vs. 2- 6 weeks like some companies. Contents remained on the truck until unloading vs. being transferred to a warehouse or to a shuttle. IMO, when contents are moved often, there is a greater chance of damage. No hidden fees dumped on at the end. In fact, driver noticed an error on the invoice regarding the truck’s tare weight for which I received a refund and also one for being underweight from the estimate. The driver, Daniel, (who was GCVL’s “Driver Of The Year” last year) was absolutely top notch. He and his personally chosen team worked unbelievably quickly yet thoroughly. All pieces were wrapped in heavy duty moving blankets , and if needed, ENCLOSED IN CARDBOARD, and then taped up. Daniel’s inventory was carefully done and boy, can he maneuver that truck! It is obvious he enjoys his job and takes pride in his work. EVERYTHING arrived in very good condition, even my piano for which I was particularly concerned.
I HIGHLY recommend GCVL without hesitation – honest, careful, personable, & professional. You won’t be disappointed. Message me if you want to know what other companies I interviewed.
Thanks Great Canadian Van Lines, Sarah, Kyle, and thank you Daniel and your team! I couldn’t be happier with the service!
Great experience from the team (Sara) and our truck driver (Daniel).
The responses were quick, the team was experienced and the service was great.
Jas and his crew were awesome. Took every little bump with professional cool 😎
They even managed to park their truck in a couple places I never expected they could.
If we do a move like that again, I’ll be asking for them
Both drivers worked hard but carefully to safely load my goods. They were polite and professional the entire way
Great crews at both ends of our big move from Toronto to Vancouver. The whole experience was stress free (apart from my needless worrying). Well done all.
I had a great experience with my recent move, thanks to Daniel and Kathy. The entire process was transparent, and the cost was reasonable, which made the whole experience stress-free. Daniel was incredibly polite and efficient, handling everything with great care and attention to detail. Kathy, my representative, was exceptional—she made sure all my questions were answered promptly and thoroughly, ensuring I felt confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a smooth and professional moving experience
A real pleasure to work with, from the initial quotes and preliminary arrangements and estimations to the pick up and drop off, GCVL took the time to understand our situation and were careful with loading and unloading our items (thanks Codie, amazing having your help at both ends!). In fact, this is our second time using GCVL, and would gladly call them up should we need movers again. Thanks so much!
We made an interprovincial move, in theory would have been stressful, but with Steve and his team it wad a success without a hitch. They were considerate and kind. They worked so hard and had a sense of humour, which kept things light. We really appreciate all their help and will use Great Canadian Van Lines again.
Jas and his crew were amazing. Fast, professional and communication the whole way from BC to Alberta
Great customer service Prompt with responses to my quote request and fully up front with all aspects of this move highly recommend
Excellent Moving Experience I recently used GCVL for my relocation, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and highly attentive. The movers arrived exactly on time and handled everything with great care. Communication throughout the process was excellent—responsive, clear, and professional. They made sure I was informed at every step and addressed all my questions promptly. All my belongings arrived in perfect condition and right on schedule. Their customer service was outstanding, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving company.
Codie was excellent! Very personable and went above and beyond, making sure I received all of my items. Did I mention he did all of this in -30 with a smile on his face? Awesome job!
The best movers in Canada I must say.they gave me good deal moving from Ontario to Alberta.MS. Candace so nice and patiently she helped me in everything and the driver Amar he is awesome he drive just 2 days from Ontario to Alberta and delivered my stuff in my home.thank you guys……
I am so impressed with how well the move went yesterday with my cross border move. There were some glitches at the storage unit but we stuck with the plan moved things safely to my home. All involved were polite, accommodating and very professional.
It went quicker than I anticipated. Thank you
I have had a great experience with this company. From start to finish they did everything they promised. Dates are timelines were met and there was an abundance of communication between myself and the office and crew members. My daughter received her heirlooms in great condition out in Calgary. They originated in Ontario so it was no small task especially one item being her piano.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these folks in the future. The crews on both ends were friendly and helpful. They didn’t rush and were kind. Thank you!
Great service took amazing care with our belongings super friendly and efficient great job !
I contacted Great Canadian Van Lines to help move a speciality item for a Film set . Everything worked out above and beyond as planned. Steve was an excellent driver and the move went smoother and faster than anticipated. 5 Stars to all involved .
Excellent job !
Wade and his team at Great Canadian Van Lines were absolutely fantastic during our move from Ontario to Alberta! They made us feel comfortable and confident in our choice right from the start. The crew was not only professional but also friendly, making the day enjoyable with laughs and great conversations.
They took exceptional care of our belongings and our home, ensuring everything arrived safely. This team turned a potentially stressful experience into a smooth and easy one. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely use their services for any future moves. Highly recommend Wade and his amazing team!
The movers were kind and efficient and took good care of my stuff. They arrived at our destination very quickly, too. Thank you! I would recommend.
Great team – responsible, careful, attentive, and effective. I would recommend this moving company to anyone planning for a short or long move.
Great service. Ron, driver was very professional, experienced and awesome. He knows his job very well. We are very happy with the service provided to us.
So I rarely write reviews, but finding a good moving company is hard and I did a lot of research for my Toronto to Vancouver move. I read a lot of reviews from many different companies, and there are a lot of scary industry horror stories out there. So doing your homework is key, and I am glad I did.
I ultimately decided on GCVL based on their reviews. I can confidently say I made the right choice and have nothing but good things to say.
After sending out a few inquiries requesting a quote, GCVL was the first to respond to me. The virtual tour and quote process with Sarah was quick and easy, and their quote came in the lowest of the three companies I was considering. The icing on the cake here is that once my items were picked up and weighed, the cost actually came in lower than the quote, which was a pleasant surprise.
On both ends of the move, the staff were professional and courteous and my items arrived in perfect condition – nothing missing and not a scratch on anything. I opted for a full packing service and the pessimist in me expected some small amount of damage. However, even things like my champagne flutes, cocktail coupes and wine decanters safely made it.
Overall, couldn’t be happier with the move.
I had a great moving experience with Great Canadian Van Lines and their affiliate company, Parkview Movers, during my move from Toronto to Halifax. All other moving companies quoted me 2-4 weeks for delivery of my belongings. Great Canadian quoted 3-7 days, so I went with them. They picked up my belongings on Friday and delivered to my new home on Monday. Shaw and Darryl were very efficient and handled my belongings carefully. Thanks
This was our first experience using a moving service / crew in Canada.
Online there is a LOT of information about people being scammed, or items being withheld until additional surprise payments were made.
I’m happy to report that this was NOT the case with GCVL.
The entire process went very smoothly and was laid out very well by Jeremy when doing the original quote.
Our driver Eddie and his team were excellent and didn’t damage any items (all furniture was taped up in moving mats prior to going in the truck)
The turn around was surprisingly fast given we moved across provinces and on the destination side we had all of our equipment unloaded within 1 hour.
I can’t think of anything negative to say about the service and would highly recommend GCVL to anyone
Ron and his team were great to deal with during my recent relocation. The crew during loading and unloading were friendly and respectful. They made me laugh a few times which was great as uprooting your life is highly stressful as is!
Thanks Ron and team! I’m a repeat customer of GVVL and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for another move.
We recently moved from the Lower Mainland, BC, to the Greater Seattle area, and Great Canadian Van Lines made the entire process seamless! From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding.
The team arrived right on time, handled our belongings with the utmost care, and ensured that everything was packed and transported securely. Not a single item was damaged during the move, and the delivery was impressively fast and smooth.
One of the things I truly appreciated was how accurate their virtual weight estimate was—we didn’t have any surprise costs, which gave us peace of mind throughout the process.
Moving across the border can be stressful, but Great Canadian Van Lines made it hassle-free. Their efficiency, reliability, and excellent customer service truly set them apart. I’m beyond pleased with their service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free moving experience!
We used Great Canadian Van Lines for transporting our house furniture and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the initial quote to the final delivery, their team was professional, courteous, and meticulous. The movers arrived on time, carefully packed and loaded all our items, and delivered them to our new location in British Columbia without any issues. Their attention to detail and care for our belongings were impressive. The communication throughout the process was excellent, and we appreciated the regular updates on the status of the move. We highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines for safe and reliable long-distance transportation service. We thank Jaideep and his assistant for highly professional and friendly manners.
VERY friendly service and very professional I will definitely use that company again
Our move with Jai went exceptionally well. Jai had great communication, punctual, professional and more, He has exceeded my expectations and made my move worry free for me and my family. Everything was well labeled and packed correctly. He went above and beyond with his service during the whole process. i am very happy to have found this company and have Jai take care of my belongings. 1000% recommend thanks again
Excellent customer service, communication, competence, and timeliness. Codie’s leadership, friendliness, professionalism and work ethic and the young men he had working with him were excellent. Moving is never easy and can be exhausting and emotional, so we really appreciated the manner in which the work was conducted!
Had an excellent experience working with my mover Codie. He was communicative, efficient, and professional throughout the process. I appreciated that he took time to check in before arriving and gave good updates as he got closer to the destination.
All of my belongings made it across Canada in mint condition and arrived ahead of schedule, despite moving over the holidays. In terms value of the service vs the overall cost I don’t think this can be beat. Big thank you again to Codie and Mo who helped with the unloading.
The movers were prompt, courteous, helpful, efficient and careful. Amar and his crew were excellent to deal with and I highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines.
Jai and the team were very thorough, professional, organized and extremely great to work with. Everything not in boxes (larger items) were wrapped carefully. I was very happy and impressed.
Upon delivery, I received great communication as to when I can expect my things (note, it was there in amazing time and I was very happy) and everything was moved to exactly where I asked. For simple things like bike pedals and wheels, It was removed and stored safely and put back together for me.
I would use GCVL again and I recommend you don’t waste time with anyone else. You get what you pay for!
