I would discourage moving large items unless they were very expensive. The shipping costs will be very high. Less expensive to sell and repurchase in Canada. That is what most people do unless their company provides some shipping for free if they are relocating.

Surely not everything inexpensive large items can be repurchase in Canada. Despite the high shipping cost, I still encourage people to do so regardless whether they pay shipping out of their pockets,

Hi all,

We're planning our move to Canada after a successful PR application and just wondering if any others out there who moved from the UAE to Canada can share their experiences. Ideally we'd like to end up in Calgary but it will someone dependent on finding work etc.

Is it worth exporting / importing our car from the UAE into Canada?

What kind of moving costs can we expect if we want to move furniture from a 1 bedroom appt? (we might decide to sell)

We won't be able to move back in a few suitcases...will have to ship stuff regardless....and we won't need the items right away in Canada (so it can go via sea container, etc)..

Any advice and tips are greatly appreciated!!

Was your move successful? My wife and I are moving from Dubai and need any recommendations on moving companies.
I received 3 recommendation.....Allied/Pickfords (very expensive), Leader (haven't heard back from them) and a 3rd, but they only do large shipments.

We are only sending boxes, no furniture. Any recommendation for moving/shipping companies for sea cargo would be great.

Many thanks. Walter

Hi There,
I am planning to move to Toronto in May'18 and just wanted to check which Moving Company did you book? Along with that, is this your first landing or have you already been to Canada and got your 'Goods to Follow' document signed?
I too am looking for a recommendation

Regards,
Ankur Sharma

Hey,
Yes, You can easily transport your luggage with safely & on time from Dubai to Uk. But before that, you have to select the best freight forwarding service, provider. I have recently taken parcel service from Darkblueshipping.com. They are offering quality service at an affordable price.
Thank you

@hanin 142.

can you pls share which cargo company you use and what is your experience.
We are also interested to know as leaving AlAin in April. Heading to Eastern Canada. Think we might get a container. So far have had contact with Crown Movers. They haven't given us a quote yet. We would be interested in sharing space if time frame suits.
