Data log: what changed and when
Every change to our mover list and price data, newest first. If it isn’t here, it didn’t happen.
Fixed movers filed under the wrong province or city
Checking every listed mover’s address against its province turned up a few filing mistakes. Four movers were under the wrong province (one Mississauga mover under Quebec, an Edmonton one under Ontario, a Sydney one under Newfoundland and Labrador, and one with its Moncton hub under a Whitby address from a directory). Six movers in Anjou, Charny, Hatchet Lake and two Montréal neighbourhoods now show on the Montréal, Lévis and Halifax pages they belong to. We took down a San Diego mover that does not serve Canada and, for now, a national brand listed with its US head-office address.
One Toronto mover taken down, one name corrected
Collins and Greig’s website now shows its web host’s “account suspended” page, so it no longer passes our first check (a working website of its own). We took it down and will check again later. The mover listed as “Toronto Movers” calls itself Francis Movers on its own website (11 Zaph Ave, Scarborough); “Toronto Movers” was only its page title, so we corrected the name.
A page for every kind of move
Long-distance moves, storage, packing, small moves, condo moves and office moves each have their own guide now, next to piano moving. Every figure on them comes from what Canadian movers publish on their own websites or from 2026 price guides with at least two independent sources: route prices for 12 city pairs, storage vault prices from 12 movers, packing rates from 21, packing times and box counts from movers’ planning tables, condo building rules (elevator bookings, deposits, certificates of insurance) as movers report them, and published office rates. Piano movers in Toronto has its own page, built from what 44 Toronto-area movers say on their piano pages.
Named rates on five city price pages, and a piano price survey
The price pages for Toronto (14 movers), Montréal (17), Calgary (12), Vancouver (10) and Ottawa (8) now list, by name, the hourly rate each mover publishes on its own website, with its minimum booking and fees such as travel time, truck fees, stairs and fuel. We left out directory profiles, search-engine snippets and pages older than 2024; where a mover publishes a range, we show its lowest figure and mark it “from”. For pianos we read the lowest upright price published by 28 Canadian movers (middle: $278).
Full price audit of the 15 largest moving markets
We re-checked every price on MoverDash against independent evidence: movers’ own price pages (re-read by hand), real quote-request medians, movers’ own planning tables and 2026 price guides. We fixed errors in how our reader picked up rates (some 2-mover prices had been stored as 3-mover prices — for example in Montréal, where 3 movers now show $165/h instead of $125/h — and ranges had been cut to their lowest number). Toronto, Montréal, Québec City, Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Halifax, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton and the GTA now have their own figures; nearby cities use their metro area and say so. Totals now use movers’ planning hours for each home size plus about 1 hour of travel, and the top of each range reflects what movers typically quote. Long-distance ranges were re-checked route by route (2026 sources, at least two publishers per figure); four were corrected, including Toronto–Calgary (2-bedroom now $4,200–$7,000) and Ottawa–Montréal. Piano, packing and storage prices come from movers’ own published prices.
Added AMJ and Two Small Men in Toronto
AMJ’s website blocks automated checks, so we read it in a normal browser: its locations page lists 26 branches across Canada with addresses and phone numbers, and it offers local and long-distance home moving. All 26 are now listed (3 of them had been waiting in our queue). We also added the Toronto location of Two Small Men with Big Hearts from its own location page.
Searched again for movers we were missing
We went through business directories and the Canadian Association of Movers member list city by city, looking only for movers not already on MoverDash. We checked 486 new websites: 180 passed our checks and are now listed; most of the rest were dead or parked domains. We also re-read the service pages of 142 movers we had set aside for not mentioning home moves — 55 of them do move homes and are now listed. Total: 1,106 checked Canadian movers. You can now search any city’s list by company name.
Compared our prices with independent data
We compared the rates movers advertise on their websites with median quoted rates that an independent Canadian moving-quote service publishes from thousands of real requests. For 2 movers, advertised rates ran below quoted ones everywhere: Canada $130 vs $140/h (−7%), Toronto $130 vs $139 (−6%), Montréal $120 vs $130 (−8%), Calgary $125 vs $145 (−14%), Ottawa $120 vs $139 (−14%), Nova Scotia $110 vs Halifax $150 (−27%, small sample). So we now label hourly numbers as “advertised rates”, add about one hour of travel time to every estimate, and use the upper quartile of rates for the top of each range.
Audited every advertised rate by hand
We re-read all 73 two-mover rates against the page they came from. 11 were wrong or not comparable (market commentary rather than the mover’s own price, labour-only rates without a truck, a travel fee read as an hourly rate, a rate for another city). We fixed the reader and removed them, plus 2 rates that belonged to another city. 74 movers now have a usable published rate; 66 publish a minimum number of hours; 34 publish how long each home size usually takes.
Read the published rates of 871 Canadian movers
For every checked mover we opened its homepage and up to four pricing pages and recorded any hourly rate it lists, with the crew size, the page address and the date. Most movers do not publish prices; we only use the ones that do.
Checked 888 more movers, city by city
We looked for moving companies in every province and opened each one’s own website. 726 passed our checks (working website, phone or address on the site, says it moves homes); 162 did not and are not listed.
Re-checked our old directory
Our earlier directory listed 179 Canadian movers. We opened each one’s website again: 111 passed, 45 could not be confirmed (website down, gone, or no sign of moving homes) and are no longer shown, 1 was not a moving company, and 22 sign-ups without a website are on hold until we can check them.
Added 34 movers from the US federal registry
Some Canadian movers that cross the border are registered with the US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as household-goods carriers. We added 34 active ones and show their USDOT number.
