Moving from Calgary to Coquitlam

Mountain highway along the Trans-Canada route through British Columbia
Our crews regularly travel the Trans-Canada and mountain highway corridors between Alberta and British Columbia.

The move from Calgary to Coquitlam covers approximately 954 kilometres via the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). Heading west from Calgary, the route passes through Banff National Park, crosses the Continental Divide, and enters British Columbia. From there the truck continues through Glacier National Park over Rogers Pass, descends through Revelstoke and Kamloops, then follows the Fraser Canyon west into the Tri-Cities area at the eastern edge of Metro Vancouver.

Coquitlam sits alongside Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, collectively known as the Tri-Cities. Asr Moving delivers to all three municipalities on this route. Whether your destination is a townhouse in Port Moody, a new build in Burke Mountain, or a detached home in Port Coquitlam, the same crew and service standards apply across all three cities.

Because this move crosses from Alberta into British Columbia, it is classified as interprovincial and requires a federal Transport Canada carrier licence. Asr Moving holds that licence and carries full cargo insurance on every job, so your belongings are protected from the moment we load in Calgary to final delivery in the Tri-Cities.

Tri-Cities Neighbourhoods Worth Knowing Before You Arrive

Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody each have their own personality. Here are eight areas across the Tri-Cities that Calgary families commonly settle in after the move to BC.

Coquitlam Centre

Central Coquitlam hub

The commercial and transit core of Coquitlam. Walking distance to Coquitlam Centre mall and on the Millennium SkyTrain line for a direct commute to Vancouver.

Burke Mountain

Newer homes, mountain views

Fast-growing with new detached homes and townhouses and direct trail access to the mountain. A natural landing spot for Calgary families used to newer suburban developments.

Westwood Plateau

Elevated family living

Higher elevation, golf course access, and quiet streets. Larger detached homes and a suburban feel that translates well for families relocating from Calgary.

Maillardville

Historic west Coquitlam

Coquitlam's oldest neighbourhood, with heritage character and proximity to Lougheed Station. A good entry point for buyers looking for value in the Tri-Cities.

Port Moody Centre

Waterfront and walkable

Inlet waterfront, craft breweries, and a strong arts and community scene. SkyTrain access on the Evergreen Extension. Popular with professionals wanting a distinct city feel.

Anmore and Heritage Mountain

Space and nature

Larger lots, forest surroundings, and close access to Buntzen Lake and Golden Ears Provincial Park. Draws Calgary buyers who want outdoor access close to home.

Port Coquitlam

Affordable Tri-Cities option

Detached homes at some of the most accessible prices in Metro Vancouver. Good parks, a strong community feel, and West Coast Express commuter rail to downtown.

Poco Trail Area

Outdoor-first living

Close to the Poco Trail, Pitt River, and marshlands. A natural draw for Calgary residents who want to keep active outdoor routines after relocating to BC.

Settling Into BC After Your Calgary Move

A move from Alberta to British Columbia means a few administrative steps in addition to getting your belongings to the Tri-Cities.

Driver's Licence
Exchange your Alberta licence for a BC licence at an ICBC driver licensing office within 90 days of becoming a BC resident.
Health Coverage
Register for BC's Medical Services Plan (MSP) after arrival. Alberta Health coverage continues during the transition period while your MSP application is processed.
Vehicle Insurance and Registration
BC vehicle insurance runs through ICBC rather than private insurers as in Alberta. Arrange your registration and new insurance after arrival in Coquitlam.
Utilities
Disconnect ENMAX (power) and ATCO (natural gas) in Calgary with a few business days' notice. Set up BC Hydro and FortisBC for your Tri-Cities address before move-in day.
Cost of Living
The Tri-Cities offer more space and lower housing costs than Vancouver or Burnaby, which is why Calgary families frequently choose them. Burke Mountain and Port Coquitlam in particular have detached homes at prices that are more familiar to Calgary buyers.
Transit
Coquitlam and Port Moody are served by the Millennium and Evergreen SkyTrain lines. Port Coquitlam has West Coast Express commuter rail to downtown Vancouver. A Translink Compass Card covers all routes.
