Driver Daniel did a fantastic job moving us across the country. The helpers worked really hard on both ends of the move. Removed alot of stress.
John and Isaac loaded my 84 yr old mother’s belongings at her senior’s residence in Edmonton. Then they drove the belongings to Toronto, unloaded and helped to set up her furniture such as her bed in her new senior’s home. The guys were professional, courteous and respectful the entire time. The one trait which stood out the most was that they were respectful to both myself and my mother. They were patient with her and kind. The move was a difficult and emotional one for my mom because my father recently passed away. Having great service from a moving company made the experience a positive one and helped to ease the stress of such a huge and overwhelming task. I’d definitely recommend John and his team! Thank you!
I just had an heirloom dining table and chairs delivered to my daughter’s home in Kelowna, and couldn’t be happier with Great Canadian Van Lines. Wade, the driver, arrived right on time, disassembled the table, wrapped each piece individually, and then reassembled the table when he delivered. He was friendly, courteous, and professional in all aspects. I really enjoyed chatting with him as he packed things up. The table arrived in perfect condition in excellent time, and the communication from the company and Wade, was timely and professional. Yes they were more expensive than the cheap quotes online, but there were no extra fees, and with the price of gas going up nearly 30% after the quote was given, there was no fuel surcharge, or holding the table ransom for any extras. All in all I would highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines, and especially Wade. Candace made the booking easy, and was willing to work with my schedule, to pick up the furniture.
Candace and the team provided accurate and detailed information from start to finish for our move from Toronto to Victoria. Candace was consistently professional, positive, and responsive. Our driver Arsh was equally professional, hard-working, and gifted when it came to tracking all details of the move. A team that we are happy to recommend!
Fabulous experience – everything arrived in perfect condition & on time – Arsh – the team leader was exceptional ! Took real care for all my belongings – including antiques & art. & he was fun ! Thank you !
Great company. I move a lot, but this was definitely one of the better ones. Flexible when I had to change dates. The driver Jag was awesome. On time for both pick up and delivery. Very communicative and took great care of my stuff. Nothing was missing or broken. Would definitely go with this moving company again. Thank you!
Excellent experience moving from Ontario to BC. The dispatch team of Candace and Kyle were super responsive and friendly. We felt very fortunate to have Arsh as our driver. He and his crew were careful with the packing and un/loading, and Arsh was able to give us a heads up about arrival, which happened during the promised delivery window. The initial quote based on a video tour was very accurate, and the pricing was competitive, especially given that Great Canadian Van Lines was able to give a guaranteed delivery window. Highly recommended for a stress-free long distance move.
Shaw and Darrell were quick and efficient. Friendly and gave packing advice and answered questions accurately and made sure we felt comfortable. I would recommend Shaw and his crew to anyone, no matter what size or where the move goes.

Excellent experience Ron and Co-worker were an excellent team! Very pleasant and professional, I would absolutely recommend their services!
Mine was a very small load from the east coast to central Canada, inner city to inner city. An excellent experience all round with Great Canadian Van Lines. The communication was professional, friendly and transparent and inspired confidence that all would go well. The drivers and handlers at both ends handled my possessions with courtesy and care, and the price was very fair. (I had been considering using a pod, but I soon realized the unwieldiness of a pod given my inner city locations at both ends. The loading and unloading work would have been all mine to do, and the price of a pod was also substantially higher.) I hadn’t anticipated at the outset how good my choice would be to go with Great Canadian Van Lines instead. Very satisfied!
Moving with Great Van Lines Ltd is definitely the way to go! The experience from beginning to end was as promised. From the initial contact of my virtual tour and with the Shaw team (drivers and movers) we were kept up to date and questions were answered. Arrival and delivery was on time and items were wrapped and transported with care. This experience is definitely recommended over trying to do a move on your own. I will definitely call them again with any future moves.
I was apprehensive to find a mover for a very very short notice. I needed to move to Surrey from Edmonton the following day. It was Monday night March 23, I emailed Great Canadian Van Lines Ltd,
That night I got a response, gave the price after few hours then they moved all the personal stuffs etc. from Edmonton to Surrey. I thought I’ll receive my stuffs on April 6, but to my surprise it was delivered today March 30. I highly recommend this company, so efficient, polite, accommodating and passionate with their job. I’m so happy and content with the outcome of the move. Again. I highly recommend and appreciated Great Canadian Van Lines. Cheers and Peace to all of us!!!!!!!!!
Friendly, reliable, polite and attentive. Wonderful fellow.
Ed and his team were very professional and did a great job!
My whole moving experience with GCVL was very positive. I used them to move my parents from BC to Alberta. They accommodated my special needs to ensure that my parents were able to arrive in their new home with all of their belongings already there. Communication was excellent and their pricing very good. The driver was in direct communication with me so that I knew exactly when he was arriving. I would definitely use them again.
We very highly recommend Balraj and Sahil. They helped us to move our elderly mother from BC to Alberta which included stops in two cities. They took the utmost care with all the furniture and belongings; taking time to well wrap and tape items, protected flooring in the houses and ensured all items reached the correct location. They went over and above to carefully transport my delicate garden birds with long pointed beaks, a heavy cement giraffe and a very heavy crated antique cabinet with delicate rounded glass.
Both were an absolute joy to meet and work with; soft spoken, polite, honest and kept in close communication when weather closed the highways.
Thank you Balraj, Sahil and
Great Canadian Van Lines, you made what we thought would be a stressful move, non-stressful.
We just moved from Hamilton to Alberta with the team at Great Canadian Van Lines. The service was professional and reliable. Would highly recommend!
From the initial quote with Candace, pick up with Ruben, and delivery with Arsh, I genuinely have nothing but fantastic things to say. Every step of the way, GCVL was transparent and thorough. They gave me a great quote that included moving my vehicle, and everything worked out just as they explained it. My things were packed well and delivered safely. Cannot recommend GCVL enough.
From the initial phone call with Candace to unloading our stuff at our new home, GCVL was professional, polite, friendly, and very clear on how everything would work regarding moving to another province. The estimate was accurate. Jas and Tim came over to load up our belongings. They were both punctual, polite, and very professional. They both didn’t make a big fuss about our German Shepherd trying to constantly play with them, quite the opposite . Jas and Tim loaded everything with no issues. Everything was tagged and put into an inventory. Jas got all our stuff to destination safe, secure, with zero damage. We arrived later than the moving van due to highway conditions, but Jas was very accommodating and took care of everything for us. Thank you Candace, Jas, Tim, Jas’s partner on the unloading side, and thank you GCVL. 100 % will use them again for any big moves and highly advise anyone who is doing a big move to give them a call.
Thank you from Riko, Miki, Ham, and Apollo.
Very, very professional, fast, clean and nice. I admire their job.
Very good service. Very organized and careful with everything they were loading in the van. Very good workers and very professional. Robin was easy to work with.
Shaw & John, Has delivered our belongings with no issues
Very smooth move with Daniel and his crew
Everyone from beginning to end was professional & so helpful. They made to whole experience of moving a whole lot less stressful. Shaw & his team were efficient & professional and his communication was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines!
John and his partner Brian, did an excellent job moving our goods from Ottawa to Calgary. They both went “above and beyond”, and always with a smile. Strongly, strongly recommend them. Thank you Great Canadian Van Lines.
my experience with this company was great! my movers were fast, personable and careful handling my stuff. Ron was my driver and he was extremely communicative and got the job done fast and proper!!
Amazing experience with Great Canadian Van Lines. Ron & Cody provided a top-notch moving experience and exceeded my expectations. From the moment I made contact with Ron, I knew all of my moving needs and any worries I may have were in good hands. The moving team was responsive, very accommodating and professional. They were able to move my home furnishings across the country and placed everything into storage for me. The quality of their work was exceptional, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank You so much for making my move so worry free.
To anyone considering a move, I recommend contacting the best – Great Canadian Van Lines.
Canadian Van Lines with our coordinator Candace and our Driver team led by Jag were a well-oiled machine. Everything went perfectly for a cross-country move. They communicate regularly, are very detailed oriented, careful with our items and prompt! I couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend.
Great care and communication for pickup and delivery time. Ron and his team were great at both end of move, on time care and efficient. Would definitely recommend.
Balraj and his team did a fantastic job with our long distance move. They communicated clearly with us on timelines, they arrived on time, carefully packed our furniture items and safely transported them to our new home. We could not be happier with the service we received.
Wade and the movers did an excellent job with my recent move. They were punctual, professional, and handled everything with great care. The team worked efficiently while still being mindful of fragile items, and they made what is usually a stressful day feel smooth and organized.
It was our first time using a moving company and our movers Sukhi and Benipal were fantastic. They were thorough, careful and on schedule. Overall a terrific experience and we would definitely consider Great Canadian again if we have to move in the future.
I was very pleased with my recent moving experience. Dave and his crew arrived to pick up and also to deliver my belongings at the appointed times. They were both friendly, efficient and obliging. There were no damages to anything and the only disappointment I have is that the pull handle from a desk drawer was missing. However, when I contacted Dave he knew where it was and promised to drop it off the next time he came my way. I would certainly recommend this company.
We had a great experience with Daniel and his teams on both end of our move from Saskatchewan to Ontario. We requested three men to pack up and load the truck and two to unload. The teams were professional and friendly. They paid attention to details and everything made it to our destination well before the estimated range. Thanks so much! 5 star, definitely recommend!
We used GCVL for two moves and had an excellent experience on both occasions. Great communication and service. Would highly recommend!
The Great Canadian Van lines team was exceptional. They came to our apartment on the Burlington Lakeshore and made quick, neat, professional work when emptying our apartment. They took special care in taking apart our hospital beds and ensuring all the hardware was stored in a box with a label and was included with the inventory record , so we could find them easily afterwards in Edmonton. We were in need of a good night sleep!! After some coffee and chatting, the team leader said he would drive our things WEST and meetup with us in our new home in a few days…. and there he was! Nothing missing, nothing damaged! A smooth miracle. Thank you, Team! From Lynn and Ben
David with GCVL and his team worked professionally and diligently to move my items from Prince Rupert BC to the Edmonton AB area. I would have no problem recommending him.
The most professional, honest moving company ever! From start to finish Great Canadian Van Lines were prompt to return calls, helpful with moving tips and took great care of our items. The driver and team were efficient and hardworking. A very non-stressful cross country move! Extremely impressed!
Excellent experience with GCVL moving us from Ontario to BC. The entire process was smooth and professional.
Sara is a gem. She answered every question and put our minds at ease, ensuring a great experience from start to finish. Harry communicated consistently, and despite snowstorms, his team delivered with care and exactly as promised.
No stress. No surprises. Truly outstanding service.
Excellent work from beginning to end. We moved recently and Candace in customer service was amazing—great communication, very responsive, and truly understood our needs. Ron (lead/ truck Driver) and the moving team were on time, friendly, efficient, and professional. They packed our belongings carefully and respectfully, used a great truck, and protected our floors with clean blankets and carpets before entering. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend moving with the company Great Canadian Van Lines – I relocated from QC to BC! Ron B. and his team did a fantastic job at packing everything at my place (with some fragile pieces) and everything got delivered on time and without any damage to my new home. They are professional, friendly, reliable, and responsive, and I would highly recommend them for any move you have to orchestrate (from coast to coast or within the same city)!
Our collective experience with Great Canadian Van Lines was very good. Communications to set up the move were prompt and helpful and the move went off without any problems at both ends. Given some of the bad experiences we heard about we were very pleased with Great Canadian Van Lines. Would use them again for sure.
Best moving experience in a long line of cross country movements. Starting from Sarah in Great Canadian office, to the pack up and pick up team to the final delivery team, everything went as smoothly as promised. I have heard a lot of promises in the last 5 years but Great Canadian kept theirs from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone considering moving without a hassle. The delivery team of Steve and crew were the icing on the cake. I was kept in the loop from beginning, until the truck pulled up in front of our new home. What happens last is what is remembered first, and this was a 5 star event. All went off without a hitch, everything arrived intact and the crew were friendly and efficient. Thank you to all at Great Canadian, and big thanks to Steve for making it a stress free end to our journey. James McDonnell
Everything went smoothly! From the moment I got the quote till everything was delivered I had no issues. They movers were friendly and efficient. I moved from one province to another and same movers that picked up dropped off my items. They were very professional and they make sure you go through the list of items picked up were the same dropped off! I highly recommend them!
Great service for long distance transportation of goods with good care. easy to communicate , quite understanding of your needs.
Special mention of Candace ,Kyle who were exceptional in their support and the delivery driver Ron who had to make multiple trips from lobby to 3rd floor because of small elevator. No hesitation in recommending for no hassle safe delivery.
Eddie and his courteous team did an excellent and efficient job getting my move loaded in the lower mainland of BC. They carefully wrapped all my furniture and handled the boxes noting those that were marked as fragile.
When they arrived Eddie and his London crew were just as friendly and efficient in bringing my goods into my new residence. They placed all of my furniture and belongings in the rooms as marked, assembled the furniture that was taken apart for the trip and left clearing up and materials that were needed for the move. I am very happy with the job they did. I found no damages to my goods that were handled in my move. I recommend Great Canadian Van Lines.
As a note: this is the 1st time out of 4 cross country moves that my weight was less than the estimate! This speaks to the integrity of the company.
Arsh and his partner moved my belongings quickly and were careful to avoid breakage. They put the frame of my bed together as well as the mattresses. And they set up my TV too! They were polite and sweet. If you are moving these gents can make the move a no stress event.
I used Great Canadian Van Lines for my move from Ontario to British Columbia after researching several companies across Canada. They stood out as one of the best options, and my experience fully confirmed that decision.
My first point of contact was Candace, who was informative and supportive from the very beginning. She provided clear delivery timelines, set realistic expectations, and ensured that my quote was accurate. Candace remained helpful throughout the entire process and was consistently responsive.
The pickup and drop off were both very efficient and they arrived right at the scheduled time. All items were packed with care, and I received updates while my belongings were in transit. Everything arrived in perfect condition, with no damage or missing items.
When concerns arose, they were addressed promptly and effectively, which gave me great confidence in the company as well.
I highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines and would not hesitate to use them again.
Highly recommend for anyone doing a provincial move! I had a great experience with them- moving my things from Edmonton back to Toronto. They handled everything smoothly from start to finish, and all of my items arrived safely and in perfect condition.
The staff was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with, which made the whole process much less stressful. A big thanks to the truck driver, ARSH — he was friendly, reliable, and kept things running on schedule. LISA was also very helpful in the early planning stages and throughout, until the move was completed

My mover Steve G was awesome, and so was Great Canadian Van Lines Ltd. price was good, and both very friendly and easy to work with! Steve was great in dealing with everything that needed to be packed and moved
Great experience!!! Went from Quebec City to Victoria, BC and after learning that there are only 6 accredited moving companies in all of Canada it was an easy choice picking Great Canadian Van lines especially after reading the reviews about the competitor (with almost the same name, don’t be fooled). Yes i paid a little bit more to go to Great Canadian but if you read between the lines, and compare the estimates you will realize the competitors do not offer actual insurance that will cover damage ( check the reviews of the competitors and the nightmares) …. YES everything arrived on time, nothing missing, professional pickup, professional drop-off. The Driver/Chief Amar is a Gem!! Great guy, super professional, funny, and totally responsive to any questions or concerns you have. I absolutely recommend this company, and make a request for Amar if you can.
