Markham sits just north of Toronto, in York Region, and it's one of Canada's leading tech hubs. The move follows the GTA pattern: a container lands at an Atlantic port, then finishes by road or rail. Allow 5 to 9 weeks. Prices land between £900 for a few boxes and £14,000-plus for a large home. We connect you with one FIDI-certified mover for Markham. They cover the shipping, the delivery and the customs. It's free to use.

Markham sits in York Region, just north of Toronto, part of the wider Greater Toronto Area.
That's inland from the sea, so a container arrives at the Port of Montreal or Halifax first. From there it travels the last stretch by road or rail up into Markham.
As a busy tech and business centre, Markham sees plenty of freight. So the local roads handle an incoming container with ease.
We move none of it ourselves. We send your move to one vetted, FIDI-certified firm, who take it on.
Delivery covers the whole city. Unionville and Markham Village, Cornell and Berczy, up to Milliken. A mover reaches any Markham address.
Historic Unionville is the one to flag. Its heritage Main Street is narrow and busy, so a crew may use a smaller vehicle for the final approach to an old-town address.
Markham is one of Canada's most diverse cities, and a leading tech hub, so many moves here are for work. Most homes are houses with driveways, which keeps access easy.
You can load two ways. Share a container, or part load, and cover only your space, good for a lighter load. A full one carries just your things, sealed in Britain, opened in Markham.
Reckon £900 for a few boxes and £14,000-plus for a large home. The short GTA stretch adds little.
Markham is in Canada, so customs clearance applies on arrival. It's processed by the CBSA on form BSF186. Goods you've owned and used for over six months usually enter duty-free, as settler effects. Recent buys can bring duty with GST or HST.

You set the level of help. A crew can pack the whole home, or only the breakables. They handle the packing, ready the furniture for the sea and load up. At the Markham end they handle customs, book any lift, deliver and unpack. Storage is ready at both ends if dates slip. Cars, pianos and artwork get specialist attention.
Beyond the move, for many years we've introduced customers to trusted currency partners, in any currency, for the Canadian dollars you'll want early on. Full door-to-door and you scarcely touch a box. A part service lowers the bill if you pack yourself.
Markham is a tech town, so a lot of moves here come with a new job. It's also one of the most diverse cities in the country, which gives the place a real buzz.
Old Unionville is the access quirk, with its narrow heritage Main Street. Elsewhere it's mostly houses with easy driveways. GTA winters bring snow, so a cold-month delivery wants some flexibility.
The firm is what counts on a long move. Seek FIDI FAIM, the worldwide credential of a vetted international mover. Ernst and Young audit each holder independently. In Britain, BAR Overseas means the same. A firm with both is checked on its money, its crews and the care it gives your home.
