Moving from Calgary to Surrey

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

The move from Calgary to Surrey covers approximately 943 kilometres via the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). Heading west from Calgary, the route passes through Banff National Park and crosses the Continental Divide into British Columbia. From there the truck continues over Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park, descends through Revelstoke and Kamloops, then follows the Fraser Valley west and south into Surrey at the southern end of Metro Vancouver.

Surrey is BC's second-largest city by population and one of the most popular destinations for Calgarians relocating to the Lower Mainland. Its combination of detached housing, newer developments, and more accessible prices compared to Vancouver and Burnaby makes it a natural fit for Calgary families who want more space without paying downtown Vancouver prices.

Because this move crosses from Alberta into British Columbia, it is classified as interprovincial. Federal Transport Canada carrier licensing is required. Asr Moving holds that licence and carries full cargo insurance on every job, so your belongings are covered from pickup in Calgary to delivery at your Surrey address.

Shipment volume is the single biggest cost driver on long-distance moves. Decluttering before the estimate is the most effective way to reduce your final price.
Add-On Services
Packing, unpacking, specialty item handling, and storage all affect your total. Every add-on is priced clearly upfront, before you commit to anything.

Surrey Neighbourhoods Worth Knowing Before You Arrive

Surrey is BC's second-largest city and one of the most diverse in Canada. It spans six distinct town centres, each with its own character. Here are eight areas Calgarians commonly settle in after making the move to BC.

Whalley / City Centre

Surrey's downtown core

The fastest-growing part of Surrey with new condo towers, SkyTrain access at King George and Surrey Central stations, and Surrey's main hospital and university campus nearby.

Cloverdale

Historic small-town feel

Heritage character, detached homes, and a tight-knit community. Popular with Calgary families who want space, a quieter pace, and a neighbourhood that actually feels like one.

South Surrey / White Rock

Waterfront and upscale living

Beachfront proximity, excellent schools, and larger homes. One of the most sought-after areas in Metro Vancouver. Attracts Calgary families and retirees looking for coastal lifestyle access.

Newton

Diverse and established

One of Surrey's most established and multicultural areas. Accessible housing prices, good transit, and a strong South Asian community. A popular first landing spot for Alberta newcomers.

Fleetwood

Family-friendly and green

Quiet residential streets, good parks, and strong school catchments. A natural fit for Calgary families used to suburban living who want space and easy highway access.

Guildford

North Surrey shopping hub

Walkable to Guildford Town Centre with a mix of townhomes and detached houses. Well connected by bus to King George SkyTrain station for Vancouver commuters.

Clayton

Newer development, north Cloverdale

Master-planned streets and newer construction. Popular with young Calgary families and first-time buyers looking for modern detached homes at prices that make sense after Alberta.

Port Kells

Industrial north Surrey

Close to Highway 1 and the Golden Ears Bridge. Practical for tradespeople or businesses relocating from Calgary who need quick access to the Lower Mainland's freight network.

Settling Into BC After Your Calgary Move

Moving from Alberta to British Columbia means a few administrative steps beyond getting your belongings to Surrey.

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. Register your vehicle and arrange your new insurance after arrival in Surrey.
Utilities
Disconnect ENMAX (power) and ATCO (natural gas) in Calgary with a few business days' notice. Set up BC Hydro and FortisBC for your Surrey address before move-in day.
Cost of Living
Surrey is meaningfully less expensive than Vancouver or Burnaby for housing, which is a key reason Calgarians choose it. Detached homes and larger lots are still available at prices closer to what you'd find in Calgary.
Transit
Surrey is served by the Expo SkyTrain line with stations at King George, Gateway, and Surrey Central. A Translink Compass Card covers SkyTrain, bus, and SeaBus across all of Metro Vancouver.
