Moving to Canada from Ireland
Canada has long been a top destination for Irish emigrants, and the tradition continues. Whether you’re heading to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, or Montreal, moving to Canada from Ireland means Atlantic sea freight, typically 2 to 3 weeks transit from Irish or UK ports. The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) requires a complete B4 form listing all goods being imported, documentation that an experienced removal company handles as a matter of routine.
Shipping a container to Canada from Ireland
- Sea freight transit: approximately 2 to 3 weeks from Irish or UK ports to Canadian East Coast; 4 to 6 weeks to Vancouver
- CBSA B4 form required: a complete list of all household goods being imported, used goods are typically duty-free for those establishing permanent residency
- Shared container (LCL): cost-effective for smaller loads or shipping furniture to Canada without a full container
- Full container (FCL): 20ft or 40ft, best for larger households with full control over timing and handling
