Popular routes include Canada to UK, Canada to Spain, Canada to Switzerland, Canada to Germany, Canada to France, Canada to Italy, Canada to Netherlands, Canada to Portugal, and Canada to Scandinavia.

Why Families and Businesses Choose Enveo for Canada to Europe Moves

Trusted Movers
Sea freight from Canada to Europe typically takes 15 to 30 days depending on the Canadian departure port (Vancouver, Montreal, or Halifax) and the European destination port. Vancouver routes via the Panama Canal add transit time to southern European ports. Air freight to Europe takes approximately 5 to 10 business days for smaller or urgent shipments.

In most cases, no — EU Transfer of Residence (ToR) rules allow duty-free and VAT-free import of personal household goods provided you have owned and used the items for at least six months and are moving your primary residence to the EU country. The UK has its own ToR relief process post-Brexit. Switzerland has separate customs rules. Our team prepares and submits the required ToR documentation for your specific destination country.

FCL (Full Container Load) means your household goods occupy an entire 20ft or 40ft container — ideal for larger moves of 3+ bedrooms. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your shipment shares container space with other consignments and is priced by cubic metre — better suited for studio, 1-bedroom, or partial household moves. Our team recommends the most cost-effective option based on your shipment volume.

We move to all major European destinations including the UK, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, and more. Each country has its own import regulations — our team handles destination-specific customs documentation for every route.

Our Canada to Europe Moving Process

1

Free Consultation & Quote

Tell us your Canadian origin city, European destination country and city, estimated shipment volume, and target move date. We assess the best shipping method (sea or air freight) and prepare a detailed, all-inclusive quote covering all freight, customs, and delivery costs.

2

Pre-Move Planning & Booking

Our team books container space or air freight capacity, schedules packing dates, and prepares all customs documentation for your destination country. We also brief you on any country-specific restrictions and confirm your European delivery timeline.

3

Professional Packing & Container Loading

Our trained packers wrap, protect, and load all your belongings into a sea freight container or air freight crates. Every item is inventoried and labeled. The container is sealed and dispatched to the Canadian port of departure — Vancouver, Montreal, or Halifax — for vessel loading to Europe.

4

European Customs Clearance & Delivery

On arrival at the European port, our customs brokers handle import clearance and country-specific documentation. Your belongings are then transported by our local European delivery partners directly to your new address — with optional unpacking and furniture placement included.

International Packing for Canada to Europe Shipments

Packing for a transatlantic move to Europe demands materials and methods built for long ocean or air transit. Our experienced packers use double-walled export cartons, custom timber crates for antiques and artwork, marine-grade stretch wrap, and foam padding for fragile items. Every item is inventoried with photos before loading — essential for European customs declarations and insurance claims.

Our International Packing Services Include:

Container Loading, Freight Forwarding & Port Handling

Proper container loading is critical for a Canada to Europe shipment. Our team uses professional bracing and securing methods inside FCL (Full Container Load) containers to prevent any movement during the Atlantic crossing. For smaller moves, we offer LCL (Less than Container Load) groupage shipments — sharing container space with other consignments to reduce costs without compromising safety.

We work with trusted freight forwarders at Canada’s major export ports including Vancouver (for Pacific routing via the Panama Canal) and Montreal or Halifax (for direct Atlantic routing to European ports).

Our Freight and Port Services Include:

Full Service Canada to Europe Household Moving

Our Canada to Europe full service moving package manages everything from the first packing box in your Canadian home to the last item placed in your European address. We coordinate packing, container booking, customs documentation, overseas freight, European port clearance, and last-mile delivery — all under one roof. Families relocating for work, retirement, or lifestyle changes trust Enveo to handle the complexity so they can focus on their new life in Europe.

We also offer partial services for clients who only need help with specific stages — including packing only, freight only, or customs assistance only — giving you the flexibility to choose the level of support that suits your situation.

Our Full Service Canada to Europe Package Includes:

Moving to Spain, UK, Switzerland, Germany, France & More

Enveo provides Canada to Europe moving services for a wide range of destinations across the continent. Each country presents its own unique logistics and customs requirements:

Canada to UK: Post-Brexit, moving to the United Kingdom requires Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief applications to avoid import VAT and duty on personal effects. Our team handles the ToR process on your behalf.

Canada to Spain: Spain allows duty-free import of household goods under Transfer of Residence rules. We prepare the Spanish customs form (Modelo 790) and supporting documentation.

Canada to Switzerland: Switzerland is not in the EU — it has its own customs regulations. Shipments enter via the Port of Geneva or Basel, and our Swiss customs partners manage the clearance process.

Canada to Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal: EU Transfer of Residence rules apply, allowing duty-free import of household goods used for at least six months. Our team ensures all EU customs paperwork is complete and accurate.

Insurance, Protection & Compliance for Every Europe Move

Every Canada to Europe shipment is covered by comprehensive marine cargo insurance, protecting your belongings from the moment packing begins in Canada to the moment delivery is complete at your European address. Our team follows strict packing and loading protocols to minimise risk during the Atlantic crossing — but in the unlikely event of damage, our insurance process ensures fast resolution.

Our Protection and Compliance Standards Include:
