Moving from Edmonton to Surrey

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 Surrey covers approximately 1,135 kilometres, following the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) west from Edmonton through Jasper National Park and across the BC border, then connecting south on the Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5) through Kamloops and Hope before arriving in Surrey at the southern edge of Metro Vancouver.

Surrey is BC's second-largest city by population and one of the most common destinations for Albertans relocating to the Lower Mainland. Its mix of detached housing, newer developments, and more accessible prices compared to Vancouver proper makes it a natural landing spot for families and professionals moving from Edmonton.

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 pickup in Edmonton 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 transparently upfront, before you book.

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 Edmontonians commonly settle in after the move.

Whalley / City Centre

Surrey's downtown core

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

Cloverdale

Historic small-town feel

Heritage character, detached homes, and a tight-knit community vibe. Popular with families leaving Edmonton who want space and a slower pace.

South Surrey / White Rock

Waterfront and upscale living

One of Metro Vancouver's most sought-after areas. Beachfront proximity, excellent schools, and larger homes attract families and retirees from Alberta.

Newton

Diverse and affordable

One of Surrey's most established and multicultural areas. Accessible housing prices, good transit, and a strong South Asian community presence.

Fleetwood

Family-friendly and green

Quiet residential streets, good parks, and strong school catchments. A natural fit for Edmonton families used to suburban living with 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 SkyTrain at King George station.

Clayton

New development north Cloverdale

Newer construction and master-planned streets. Popular with young families and first-time buyers relocating from Alberta looking for modern detached homes.

Port Kells

Industrial north Surrey

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

Settling Into BC After Your Edmonton Move

Moving from Alberta to British Columbia means a few administrative steps in addition to 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 processes.
Vehicle Insurance and Registration
BC vehicle insurance runs through ICBC rather than private insurers as in Alberta. Register your vehicle and get new insurance sorted after you arrive in Surrey.
Utilities
Disconnect EPCOR (power and water) and ATCO (natural gas) in Edmonton with a few business days' notice. Arrange BC Hydro and FortisBC for your Surrey address before move-in day.
Cost of Living
Surrey is significantly less expensive than Vancouver or Burnaby for housing, which is exactly why many Edmontonians choose it. Detached homes and larger lots are still available at prices closer to what you'd find in Edmonton.
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 Metro Vancouver.
