What to check when hiring removals / moving companies in Canada
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a removals / moving company
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Look for an established mover with a real local address and verifiable reviews: membership of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) is a useful sign, as CAM screens members and runs a complaints process.
- Get a written, binding (or guaranteed-not-to-exceed) estimate after an in-home or video survey, and a bill of lading: vague phone quotes are how 'hostage load' over-charging starts.
- Confirm the valuation/coverage for loss or damage in writing, and that the movers (not unvetted day-labour) carry workers' compensation and liability insurance.
- Never pay a large deposit up front or cash on demand before delivery.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- Quotes sight-unseen, then inflates the price or holds your goods for extra payment on delivery.
- No bill of lading, no written estimate, and no clear loss/damage coverage.
- Demands a large cash deposit, or has no verifiable address and only anonymous reviews.
- No insurance or workers' compensation for the crew.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a CAM member, and can I see verifiable reviews and your local address?
- Will you give a written binding estimate after a survey, and a bill of lading?
- What loss/damage coverage applies, and how is it claimed?
- Do you carry liability insurance and workers' compensation for the crew?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy removals / moving company?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A removals / moving company backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend removals / moving companies for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Removals / moving companies are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a removals / moving company?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the removals / moving company, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
