Quebec City is the most French of Canada's cities, a walled old town above the St Lawrence. It has a real advantage for shipping: its own ocean port. Your container can sail up the river and dock close to the city. Allow 6 to 9 weeks. Costs sit between £900 for a few boxes and £14,000-plus for a large home. We connect you with one FIDI-certified mover for Quebec City. They run the shipping, the delivery and the customs, including the French paperwork. The service is free.

Quebec City has the Port of Quebec, a deep-water harbour on the St Lawrence below Montreal.
So your container can sail right up the river and dock close to the city. There is no road leg to add. That keeps the routing clean and simple.
From Britain the shipment crosses the Atlantic and enters the Gulf of St Lawrence. It then follows the river up to Quebec City.
None of the carrying is ours. We pass your move to one vetted, FIDI-certified firm, and they handle it.
Delivery covers the whole city. Sainte-Foy and Sillery in the west, Limoilou and Beauport to the east, and the historic heart in between. A mover reaches any Quebec City address.
The old town is the one to plan for. Its walled, steep, cobbled streets are tight for a big lorry, and parts limit vehicle access. A crew often uses a smaller van or a shuttle for the final stretch into Old Quebec.
Quebec City is strongly French-speaking, more so than Montreal. Your mover handles the French paperwork, so the language is never your problem.
You can load two ways. A shared container, or part load, charges for the room you use and fits a lighter move. A full container holds only your goods, closed in Britain and opened in Quebec City.
Expect anywhere from £900 for a few boxes to £14,000 or more for a large home. The direct port keeps the routing economical.
Quebec City is in Canada, so customs clearance applies at the dock. The CBSA takes care of it on form BSF186. Belongings you've owned and used for over six months usually pass through duty-free, as settler effects. New purchases can bring duty plus GST and Quebec's QST.

You set the level of help. A crew can box the whole home, or just the fragile pieces. They handle the packing and wrap the furniture for the ocean, then fill the container. At the Quebec City end they clear customs, shuttle into the old town if needed, deliver and unpack. Storage waits at both ends if your dates move. Pianos, cars and artwork get specialist care.
Beyond the move, for many years we've steered customers to trusted currency partners, in any currency. That covers the Canadian dollars you'll need early on. Full door-to-door and you needn't lift a thing. A part service pays off if you pack yourself.
Old Quebec is the headline quirk. The walled town has narrow, steep, cobbled lanes and tight vehicle access. A big lorry often can't reach the door. A crew plans a smaller van or a shuttle for that last stretch.
Winter is the other. Quebec City gets heavy snow for months, home of the famous Carnaval. A winter delivery wants a flexible day.
Picking the right firm matters most on a long move. Watch for FIDI FAIM, the worldwide credential carried by serious international movers. An independent Ernst and Young audit confirms it. BAR Overseas carries the same weight in Britain. A firm with both has been vetted on its finances, its training and the care it shows your home.
For our part, we are not the firm that does the move. International Removals Companies connects you with one vetted, FIDI-certified company. They run it from survey to delivery in Quebec City. We've been at this since November 2010. DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD, company 07425576, ICO ZB022743, Norman House, Saint Saviours Estate, Abbey Street, London, SE1 3DH.

Quebec City is one of many. Explore the other destinations, or the guides on cost, cars and pets.
From roughly £900 for boxes in shared space, up to £14,000-plus for a large home. The direct port keeps it simple. A survey sets the figure.
Up the St Lawrence to the Port of Quebec, docking close to the city. Little or no inland leg.
About 6 to 9 weeks door to door. The direct river port keeps the routing clean.
Yes. The walled streets are tight, so a crew often shuttles the last stretch with a smaller van.
No. Your mover handles the French paperwork and language for you.
The CBSA, on form BSF186. Used goods owned six months or more pass free as settler effects. New buys can carry GST and Quebec's QST.
Both. The 15-year rule decides if a car can come. Pets travel by air, no quarantine on dogs or cats. See our guides.
No. We're not a removal company. We pair you with one vetted, FIDI-certified Quebec City mover, and they handle it.
