Moving from Calgary to Vancouver

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 Vancouver covers roughly 975 kilometres along the Trans-Canada Highway, heading west through Banff National Park, over Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park, past Revelstoke and Kamloops, then down through the Fraser Valley into Metro Vancouver. It is one of the most scenic interprovincial routes in Canada and one that our crew knows well.

Because this move crosses from Alberta into British Columbia, it is considered interprovincial. That means your mover must hold a valid federal carrier licence. Asr Moving carries the required licensing and insurance for every Alberta-to-BC job, so you are protected from pickup to delivery.

Transit time by moving truck is typically one to two days depending on departure time, load size, and seasonal road conditions through the mountain passes. We confirm exact delivery windows at booking and keep you updated throughout the route.

Vancouver Neighbourhoods People Moving from Calgary Love

Vancouver is a city of distinct neighbourhoods. Whether you're coming for work, family, or a fresh start, here are eight areas worth considering.

East Vancouver

Diverse and walkable

Popular with young families and creatives. More affordable than the west side, with excellent transit links downtown.

Burnaby

Value and SkyTrain access

Lower housing costs than Vancouver proper with fast SkyTrain connections. Popular with professionals commuting downtown.

Coquitlam

Suburban family living

Part of the Tri-Cities area with good schools, parks, and newer housing stock. A natural fit for families leaving Calgary suburbs.

Surrey

Fastest-growing city in BC

Affordable housing and expanding transit. Particularly popular for South Asian communities with strong local amenities.

Yaletown

Urban downtown living

Dense, modern condos near the waterfront. Walk to everything. Ideal for professionals without kids who want the city at their door.

Kitsilano

Beach community

Beach access, yoga studios, and a laid-back west side feel. Popular with outdoor enthusiasts relocating from Alberta.

North Vancouver

Mountains at your door

New Westminster

Historic and affordable

BC's original capital. Solid transit connections, heritage character, and some of the most affordable detached housing near Vancouver.

Settling Into BC After Your Calgary Move

A move from Alberta to British Columbia means more than transporting your belongings. A few things to take care of before and after you arrive.

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) promptly after arrival. Alberta Health coverage continues during the transition period.
Vehicle Insurance and Registration
BC vehicle insurance runs through ICBC, not private insurers as in Alberta. Arrange your new insurance and registration after arrival.
Utilities
Disconnect ENMAX (power) and ATCO (natural gas) in Calgary with a few business days' notice. Set up BC Hydro for your Vancouver address before move-in day.
Cost of Living
Vancouver is significantly more expensive than Calgary, particularly housing. Many Calgary movers settle in East Van, Burnaby, or the Tri-Cities for better value.
Transit Access
If you'll commute downtown, prioritise a neighbourhood on the SkyTrain network. Translink's Compass Card covers bus, SkyTrain, and SeaBus.
