International move

Moving from Morocco to Canada

Canada is a sea move, and that changes how you should think about it. Your belongings travel in a container across the Atlantic over several weeks, so the decision is not really about speed. It is about what genuinely deserves to make the journey, and about having the paperwork ready before the ship sails.

The route

How the Canada corridor works

From Morocco

Via Sea container

To Canada

Transit time. Several weeks door to door. Ocean transit dominates the timetable and depends on the sailing schedule and the port of entry.

We pack and load at your address in Morocco, the container is loaded and sails from a Moroccan port, and it is cleared and delivered to your Canadian address on arrival. Transit is measured in weeks, not days, and the schedule depends on sailings rather than on road time.

Because the cost is driven by volume in a container, this is the corridor where editing what you take pays for itself. Bulky low-value furniture rarely justifies its space across the Atlantic; documents, personal effects and anything genuinely irreplaceable always do.

Settler's effects

Canada allows new residents to import personal and household effects without duty as settler's effects, provided the goods were owned and used before arriving. The practical requirement is a proper list of what is arriving, including goods that will follow later.
Two lists, prepared before you fly

Canadian practice is to declare both the goods accompanying you and the goods arriving separately. Preparing both lists before you travel is what keeps a sea shipment moving through customs without you having to argue for it from the other side of the Atlantic.
Some categories are restricted

Food, plants, wood items and certain other categories face specific controls, and firearms have their own regime entirely. We go through what you intend to ship before it is packed.

Paperwork

Documents you will need

We tell you which of these to start early, because some take time to issue.

Passport and Canadian immigration document or permanent residence confirmation
Detailed valued inventory of the goods being shipped
A separate list of goods to follow later
Proof of your Canadian address
Packing list matching the inventory

Pricing

What your quote depends on

Every international move is priced on its own constraints. These are the ones that matter here.

Volume, since container space is the main cost driver
Whether a shared or dedicated container suits your load
Destination city, and whether an inland leg follows the port
How much professional packing you want us to handle
Whether storage is needed before the sailing
The proportion of bulky low-value items you choose to take

Morocco to Canada: frequently asked questions

How long does a move from Morocco to Canada take?

Several weeks door to door. The ocean crossing dominates the timetable and depends on the sailing schedule, so this is a move to plan around rather than to rush.

Should I ship all my furniture?

Usually not all of it. Container space is the main cost driver, and bulky low-value furniture rarely justifies crossing the Atlantic. Personal effects, documents and irreplaceable items always do.

Will I pay duty on my belongings?

Generally not. Canada allows new residents to bring personal and household effects in as settler's effects without duty, provided you owned and used them before arriving and they are properly listed.

What if some things arrive after I do?

That is normal on a sea move and Canada expects it. You declare goods to follow on a separate list, which is why we prepare both lists before you fly.

Do you deliver outside the port cities?

Yes. Calgary, Edmonton and other inland destinations are reached by road after the port of entry, which we build into the quote and the schedule.

Are there things I should not pack?

Yes. Food, plants and wood items face specific controls, and firearms have their own regime. We go through your list before anything is packed.
