Moving To Canada From Another Country -Now

Moving to canada from overseas and international relocations

October 24th, 2024 announcements were made to cut expected immigration targets by 31%. Those new targets are now 395,000 in 2025, 380,000 in 2026 and 360,000 in 2027. The pressure on housing and society that came with Canadian population increasing by over 1.3 million, with 97.6% of it coming from immigration in 2023, has forced this reassessment of targets. “Without good housing, integration is difficult or threatens social cohesion between residents in Canada who are impacted by the housing crisis and people coming and competing for housing” the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi explained when meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister. When economic or housing crises strike, integrating refugees has to be handled with extreme care, he said.
Canada’s population is just over forty million. This was after 2021 and 2022 each saw just over four hundred thousand moving to Canada from overseas.
Canada had expected continued worldwide turmoil and climate change to drive immigration during the upcoming years. That forecast growth was 485,000 in 2024, 500,000 in 2025 and 500,000 in 2026.

Many international listings have consistently rated Vancouver and Canada in the worlds top 10 best places to live over the past few decades. The factors that matter to those who move to Vancouver are:

• Vancouver’s quality of life
• The safety and security
• A strong growing infrastructure with seamless worldwide connectivity

specifically:
• local or regional tensions being imposed on family or staff are minimal compared to elsewhere
• its temperate climate, at just north of the US boarder, enjoys the moderating impact of the Gulf Stream
• its judicial and political systems avoid government by decree (versus examples by Putin or Trump orders)
• its historic governmental process foster stability and predictability

Insist on Bekins professionals for your destination delivery, for your international move. The Bekins international moving experience and staff training deliver results. Careful unpacking, reassembly and dealing with transport damages are key to Bekins move success.

The right packing makes a world of difference in protecting possessions.

Every move has its challenges and none have more than international moves. Seasonal differences between the north and south hemispheres, the extra handling between truck, train, ship or air transportation, as well as the added anxiety moving to another country brings, all take a toll. When delivery time arrives the focus shits to lets get it done… enough already. A damaged set of china, that was handed down from mother to daughter, can easily bring tears when not packed properly. Things can even go from unfortunate to dangerous.
A few months ago, a Google Bekins review brought into focus how important experienced judgement is. It was a 1 out of 5 star review saying… “I manage an apartment building… Of the three in the crew, one man was absolutely disrespectful to me and failed to understand what I was asking of him after repeatedly pointing out that he could not disable the elevator… I’d give a zero, but the other two in the crew were quite reasonable.”
   It would have avoided a confrontation and been simple to do as the man asked. Unfortunately doing what was asked by that stander by would have endangered others in the building. It would also have driven up the cost of the move for the Bekins client. Experience provides understanding of the need to lock out an elevator. The primary focus is always to work on the clients behalf to deliver a safe successful move for the client. Users expect access to immediate elevator movement. They do not notice risks presented by stacking items for elevator loading. If something fell on them, their children got injured, who would pay the hospital bills ? If they knocked over a possession and broke it who would be responsible ? It’s why items are never stacked outside the elevator, by professionals.
   Each Bekins client pays for the crew, truck, equipment, etc. completing the delivery. Stopping and waiting around wastes time… time clients end up paying for. The crew knows the job is to help the client. The client knows they are getting good value. Each move balances the clients needs, wants and anxieties with the costs required. The experienced judgement of Bekins brings that focus to the most successful conclusion.

Your moving to Canada experience includes any delays that come with crossing borders. Occupancy of your expected home can change. In these cases temporary storage helps mange the time delays. Renovations at your new home may take awhile longer than expected. Bekins clean environment international shipment facilities accommodate last minute changes using short term storage. If possessions don’t fit as expected, Bekins even offers long term storage and furniture vaults. Working with you to reduce these issue are local staff, experienced in these aspects of moving to Canada.
