Moving from Edmonton to Coquitlam

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

The move from Edmonton to Coquitlam covers approximately 1,142 kilometres by road. The standard truck route follows the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) west from Edmonton through Jasper National Park and across the BC border, then connects south on the Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5) through Kamloops and Hope before arriving in the Tri-Cities area of Metro Vancouver.

Coquitlam sits at the eastern edge of Metro Vancouver 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 condo near Coquitlam Centre, or a detached home in Port Coquitlam, the same crew and delivery standards apply.

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 protected from pickup in Edmonton to delivery at your door 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 Edmontonians commonly settle in after making the move to BC.

Coquitlam Centre

Central Coquitlam hub

The commercial and transit heart 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

One of the fastest-growing areas in Metro Vancouver. New detached homes and townhouses with trail access. Popular with Alberta families used to newer suburban developments.

Westwood Plateau

Elevated family living

Higher elevation with golf course access and quiet residential streets. Larger detached homes and a suburban feel that translates well for Edmonton families.

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 vibrant arts scene. SkyTrain access on the Evergreen Extension. Popular with professionals who want a strong community feel.

Anmore and Heritage Mountain

Space and nature

For those leaving Edmonton who want larger lots and forest surroundings. Close to Buntzen Lake and Golden Ears Provincial Park for year-round outdoor access.

Port Coquitlam

Affordable Tri-Cities option

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

Poco Trail Area

Outdoor-first living

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

Settling Into BC After Your Edmonton Move

An Alberta-to-BC move means a few administrative tasks beyond 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 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 new insurance after arrival in Coquitlam.
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 Tri-Cities address before move-in.
Cost of Living
The Tri-Cities offer more space and lower housing costs than Vancouver or Burnaby. Burke Mountain and Port Coquitlam in particular have detached homes at prices closer to what you'd find in Edmonton.
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.
