We know! That’s why we made this page. We’ve collected all the links and hook-ups to help make your move as smooth as possible. You’re welcome 🙂
Canada Post mail forwarding. Post-date your move. Worth every penny.
Don’t rely on forwarding forever. Update your address directly with banks, subscriptions, and important senders so nothing falls through the cracks.
BC law requires an address update within 10 days of moving. Don’t get caught out.
Update your CRA address to avoid interest you didn’t need to pay.
Separate from your address — make sure pre-authorized debit arrangements in My Account aren’t disrupted mid-move.
Keep your voter registration current so your ballot goes to the right riding.
Pre-order your electricity transfer on or before possession day so the lights are on when you arrive.
Gas stove, fireplace, or furnace? Let Fortis know before you move in.
Easy to forget — TV service is a separate transfer from internet. Book it at the same time so you’re not calling in a panic on move-in day.
Don’t go a day without WiFi. Book your transfer early — installers book up fast. We use Telus.
Moving into a strata? Notify the property manager with your new owner info, get the move-in rules in writing, and confirm elevator or freight access.
Get coverage in place for completion day — no gap. Contact our go-to: Chloe at JM Insurance.
Update your address with your bank, credit cards, and yes — grandma. Call them, don’t just update an app.
Not just for mail — update HR so your T4 and direct deposit details are accurate. A missed T4 can mean a delayed tax return.
Home insurance is on the list — but car and life policies are often missed. Your premium and coverage may change based on your new address.
Update your address with your GP, dentist, and any specialists. Easy to forget, annoying when appointment reminders go to the wrong place.
Update your billing address with your carrier so bills actually find you.
Default shipping addresses catch people off guard constantly. Update Amazon, subscription boxes, and your go-to online stores before your first post-move order.
Especially if switching locations — update your home club and billing address. Some gyms let you transfer your membership to a closer location.
Hire movers. It’s worth it. These two come recommended by clients who survived the process.
If your building has an elevator, book it for move day — most buildings have only one window per floor per day. Don’t find out the hard way.
In Port Moody or Coquitlam, large moving trucks sometimes need a temporary no-parking permit from the city. Check a week before move day.
Rent reusable boxes instead of buying cardboard. Better for the planet, easier on your back.
Book a cleaner for move-in AND move-out. Our go-to: Obsession Cleaning Services — 604.803.8026.
Always rekey or change the locks on possession day. Previous owners, contractors, cleaners — they all had keys. Don’t assume they handed them all back.
Photo your hydro and gas meters on possession day, timestamped. Protects you from being billed for usage before you moved in. Takes 2 minutes.
First thing to do when you move in. You’ll thank yourself the first time something trips — or when you need to flip a breaker safely.
We handle key collection and handoff on possession day. You won’t be standing on the doorstep wondering what’s happening.
Expect contact from your lawyer 7–12 days before closing. If you haven’t heard from them by then, call us.
Order food before you’re running on fumes. Moving on an empty stomach is everyone’s worst day.
We’ve got you covered. Just don’t forget to invite us — we’ll bring something good.
Now that you’re in, we know the best trades in the Tri-Cities — painters, flooring, reno crews. We’ve vetted them so you don’t have to.
New to the Tri-Cities? We’ve put together neighbourhood guides covering Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam — coffee shops, parks, schools, hidden gems.
You’re in your new home — that’s what we live for. If we made your move easier, a Google review means the world to us and helps other families find us too.
We’re always a call or text away. That’s what we’re here for.
