St Catharines is the heart of the Niagara region, between Lake Ontario and the famous canal. Known as the Garden City, it's wine country, close to the Falls but firmly in Canada. St Catharines takes the regional route: a container lands at an Atlantic port, then finishes by road or rail. Allow 5 to 9 weeks. Costs land between £900 for a few boxes and £14,000-plus for a large household. We connect you with one FIDI-certified mover for St Catharines. They take care of the whole shipping, delivery and customs. It's free to use.

St Catharines sits in the Niagara region, on the Welland Canal between the two lakes.
The canal is famous for lifting ships around Niagara Falls, part of the St Lawrence Seaway. Even so, household goods usually land at the Port of Montreal or Halifax, then come by road or rail.
Close as it is to the US border, your move stays entirely in Canada.
We carry nothing ourselves. We hand your move to one vetted, FIDI-certified firm, who oversee it.
Delivery covers the whole city. Downtown and Port Dalhousie on the lake, Merritton and Grantham, out towards the wineries. A mover reaches any St Catharines address.
Most of the city is houses with driveways, so access is usually easy. A local crew plans the run around the day.
Where there are downtown or lakeside blocks, the lift and bay just need booking ahead. Flag the building at the survey so the crew comes ready.
Pick from two. Share a container, or part load, and pay for your slice, ideal for a smaller load. Or take a private one, sealed in Britain and opened in St Catharines.
Plan £900 for a few boxes to £14,000-plus for a large household. The short Niagara leg adds little.
St Catharines is in Canada, so customs clearance is handled on arrival. The CBSA looks after it on form BSF186. Things you've owned and used for six months or more usually clear duty-free, as settler effects. Newer things can draw duty plus GST or HST.

You choose how much to take on. A crew can pack the full home, or only the breakables. They handle the packing and wrap the furniture for the sea, then fill it. At the St Catharines end they clear customs, book any lift, deliver and unpack. Storage stands by at both ends if dates slip. Cars, pianos and artwork get attentive, careful handling.
Beyond the move, over the years we've pointed customers to trusted partners for any currency, for the Canadian dollars you'll want early on. Full door-to-door and there's little for you to do. A part service is cheaper if you pack your own.
The Welland Canal is the local landmark. It runs through the area, lifting big ships around Niagara Falls, and it's a sight worth seeing. None of it changes your move, mind.
This is the Garden City, the heart of Niagara wine country, with the Falls a short drive off. A green, easy-going place to land.
The right firm makes the move. The badge to find is FIDI FAIM, the global standard among international movers. An Ernst and Young audit, run independently, sits behind it. BAR Overseas is Britain's equivalent. A company with both has passed checks on its money, its crews and the care it gives your home.
As for us, International Removals Companies doesn't carry out the move. We connect you with one vetted, FIDI-certified firm, who run it from survey to delivery in St Catharines. We've connected customers with vetted firms since November 2010. DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD, company 07425576, ICO ZB022743, Norman House, Saint Saviours Estate, Abbey Street, London, SE1 3DH.

St Catharines is one of many. Check the destinations, or the guides on cost, cars and pets.
From around £900 for boxes in shared space, to £14,000 or more for a large household. The short Niagara leg adds little. A survey sets the figure.
Via the Port of Montreal or Halifax, then by road or rail into the Niagara region.
Generally 5 to 9 weeks, door to door. The crossing is most of it, with a short Niagara leg at the end.
Not usually. Goods land at an Atlantic port and finish by road or rail. The canal is a fine local sight, though.
No. The border is near, but your move stays entirely in Canada. No US crossing involved.
The CBSA, on form BSF186. Goods owned six months or more clear duty-free as settler effects. Newer things can carry GST or HST.
Both. A car must pass the 15-year rule. Pets go by air, and there's no quarantine for dogs or cats. See our guides.
No. We don't carry it out. We connect you with one vetted, FIDI-certified St Catharines mover, who see it through.
