Moving from Edmonton to Burnaby

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 drive from Edmonton to Burnaby covers approximately 1,147 kilometres, making it one of the longer interprovincial routes in Western Canada. The most common truck route follows the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) west from Edmonton through Jasper National Park and into British Columbia, then connects south via the Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5) toward Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.

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 move, so your belongings are covered from the moment we load in Edmonton to final delivery in Burnaby.

Transit time by moving truck is typically one to two days depending on departure time, shipment size, and road conditions through the mountain sections. Delivery windows are confirmed at booking and we keep you updated throughout the route.

Burnaby Neighbourhoods Worth Knowing Before You Arrive

Burnaby is Metro Vancouver's third-largest city, split into four distinct quadrants. Here are eight areas and nearby communities that Edmontonians commonly land in after the move.

Metrotown

Central Burnaby hub

Dense, transit-connected, and walkable. Home to one of BC's largest shopping centres and direct SkyTrain access to downtown Vancouver.

Brentwood

Rapidly growing north Burnaby

A major redevelopment area with new high-rise condos and a revamped town centre. Strong SkyTrain links and popular with young professionals.

Burnaby Heights

Established family neighbourhood

Older character homes, independent restaurants, and a quieter pace. Walkable to transit and popular with families looking for a neighbourhood feel.

South Burnaby

Quiet residential south end

Borders New Westminster and Coquitlam. Lower density, good parks, and more detached housing than central Burnaby at more accessible prices.

Edmonds

Affordable and up-and-coming

One of Burnaby's more affordable areas with its own SkyTrain station. Seeing steady development and popular with first-time buyers from Alberta.

Capitol Hill

Elevated north Burnaby

Higher elevation with views across the inlet. Quiet, residential, and close to Simon Fraser University. A good fit for families and academics.

Lougheed

Transit and affordability

Straddles the Burnaby-Coquitlam border with SkyTrain access on both lines. Attracts buyers priced out of central Burnaby neighbourhoods.

New Westminster

Neighbouring historic city

BC's original capital, directly adjacent to Burnaby. Heritage character, SkyTrain access, and some of the most affordable detached housing in the region.

Settling Into BC After Your Edmonton Move

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

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 processes.
Vehicle Insurance and Registration
BC vehicle insurance runs through ICBC rather than private insurers as in Alberta. Register your vehicle and arrange new insurance after arrival.
Utilities
Disconnect EPCOR (power and water) and ATCO (natural gas) in Edmonton with a few business days' notice. Set up BC Hydro and FortisBC for your Burnaby address before move-in.
Cost of Living
Burnaby is significantly more expensive than Edmonton, particularly for housing. Many Alberta movers target South Burnaby, Edmonds, or neighbouring New Westminster for better value.
Transit
Burnaby has excellent SkyTrain coverage on the Millennium and Expo lines. A Translink Compass Card covers SkyTrain, bus, and SeaBus across Metro Vancouver.

"Did a November move and was worried about the Coquihalla. The team had already checked conditions and built in extra time. Everything arrived safely and on schedule."

Michael R.
Edmonton to Metrotown

"My Burnaby condo wasn't ready until a week after my Edmonton lease ended. Asr held my things in storage without any pressure and delivered the day I called. Saved me a lot of stress."

Jas P.

"They handled a grand piano and two antique armoires that other companies had refused. Both arrived in perfect condition. Worth every dollar."
