Shipping from Dubai
to Canada.

Yes. Our movers and packers do the packing, wrapping and listing in Dubai, then we ship your furniture and household goods in a full container, or share one if you have less to send. The item by item list matters, because customs clear personal effects against it. Fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot travel, and we give you the full list before packing day.

Sea freight to Canada takes about 25 to 35 days, and air freight to Canada takes 2 to 5 days. Commercial lane information publishes roughly 25 to 32 sailing days to Vancouver and Halifax, with Montreal in the high twenties. Add the inland rail leg for anywhere that is not on a coast. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Yes, and the rule is the opposite of what most pages say. Canada does not require a vehicle to be under fifteen years old. A vehicle fifteen years or older sits outside the normal age-control framework, which makes it the easier import. A younger vehicle from a country other than the United States or Mexico has to fall into a specific admissible category. So do not ship a newer UAE-market car until Transport Canada admissibility is confirmed. Send us the make, model, year and chassis number and we will check.

CARM is now the official system of record for commercial import accounting in Canada. A business importing commercial goods needs a Business Number and an RM import-export account, and needs to be registered in CARM before the first commercial shipment. It takes time and it is entirely on the importer’s side, so we check it before you book. A lot of shipping pages still do not mention it at all.

No, and it catches people out. Cargo for Toronto and Ontario lands on a coast and moves inland by rail. Montreal is usually the shortest inland leg because it sits well up the St Lawrence. Halifax is the deep-sea Atlantic option and is ice free year round. Vancouver serves the west and the prairies by rail.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in Canada it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to Canada is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to Canada is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we send you a price in writing, usually the same day.

All of them. Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Halifax, Victoria, Saskatoon, Regina, London and Windsor. Just give us the address and we bring it to the door.

Whichever keeps the inland leg sensible. Vancouver for British Columbia, Alberta and the prairies, with rail inland. Montreal for Ontario, Quebec and central Canada. Halifax for Atlantic Canada and as a deep-sea alternative into the centre. Tell us the delivery city and we will pick.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Canada door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs, and bring them to your address including the inland rail leg. You deal with one company for the whole journey.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. Your goods load at Jebel Ali and come into Vancouver or Montreal. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in Canada. You do not need to find your own clearing agent.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until you are ready to ship. On this lane that is useful, because it lets the cargo wait while the CARM registration is confirmed.

Yes. We move project cargo to Canada as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship. Vancouver and Halifax both handle heavy and out of gauge cargo, and the rail network moves it inland. Send us the size and weight and the delivery city.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads to Canada, including Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. We pack, collect, move and deliver, and we handle the customs clearance so your things are not waiting on paperwork.

You may. Settlers and qualifying returning residents can import eligible personal and household effects duty free when the border service conditions are met. A vehicle can be included as personal effects only if it is independently admissible under the Canadian vehicle rules, which is a separate question and the one that decides it. Tell us your situation and what you are bringing.

Toronto Pearson for Ontario, Quebec and the east, and it is Canada’s largest air cargo market. Vancouver for British Columbia and Alberta, because it saves a domestic leg that on this country is a long way. Tell us the delivery city and we will pick.
