Moving in Toronto or anywhere across the GTA? Whether you’re relocating from downtown to the suburbs or transitioning between neighborhoods like Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, or Mississauga, a smooth move starts with smart planning.
At 4uJworks Moving Company Inc., we’ve helped countless families and individuals move throughout the Greater Toronto Area. We know the unique challenges of city traffic, elevator bookings, narrow streets, and building restrictions — and we’ve built this 30-day moving checklist to help you tackle it all with confidence.
30 Days Before Your Move
Book your moving company. GTA movers get booked fast — especially at month-end or during summer. Reserve your spot with a trusted, local company like 4uJworks Moving Company Inc.
Start decluttering. Donate or sell anything you don’t need. GTA donation centers like Value Village, The Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity are great options.
Notify your landlord or condo board. Most Toronto-area rentals require 60 days’ notice — check your lease terms and notify building management early.
Create a moving binder or digital folder. Keep quotes, receipts, and your checklist in one place for easy access.
2–3 Weeks Before Moving
Get moving supplies. Stock up on boxes, tape, packing paper, and bubble wrap. We offer affordable supply kits — just ask!
Start packing non-essentials. Think books, off-season clothing, wall art, and storage items.
Update your address. Visit Service Ontario for your license and health card, Canada Post for mail forwarding, and notify banks, schools, and subscription services.
Schedule utilities. Contact providers like Toronto Hydro, Enbridge Gas, Rogers, Bell, or TekSavvy to transfer or cancel services.
Book building amenities. If you’re in a high-rise, notify your condo or building management to reserve the elevator and loading zone.
1 Week Before Moving
Pack a first-night kit. Include essentials like toiletries, chargers, medication, snacks, and basic tools.
Confirm with your movers. Double-check the arrival time, parking details, and access points.
Defrost your fridge and freezer. Do this at least 24–48 hours before moving day to prevent leaks.
Disassemble large furniture. Beds, desks, and shelves may need to be taken apart — or we can handle this for you.
Moving Day
Protect common areas. Use mats or request wall/floor protection for your building — some condos in the GTA require this.
Do a final walk-through. Check closets, cabinets, and balconies for anything left behind.
Work with your movers. Direct our team to fragile or priority items — we handle them with care.
Inspect your new space. Before unpacking, take photos of your new unit and report any damages if you’re renting.
Unpack the essentials. Start with kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom basics.
Pro Tips from 4uJworks Moving Experts
Use clear bins for essential items so they stand out. Label your boxes with both room and contents — and color code by floor if you’re moving into a multi-level home.
Schedule your move earlier in the day to avoid rush hour across the GTA.
Take photos of electronics before unplugging — it’ll save time when reconnecting.
Leave your kids or pets with a trusted friend or family member for a smoother moving day.
