Moving to Halifax: What You Need to Know
Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a dynamic hub for ocean technology, defence, financial services, and three major universities (Dalhousie, Saint Mary's, NSCC). The city has seen a population surge since 2020, with young professionals drawn by affordable real estate compared to Montreal, a vibrant waterfront, and a tight-knit community. Top neighbourhoods include the North End, South End near the universities, Clayton Park, and Dartmouth Crossing across the harbour.
Montreal to Halifax covers roughly 1,250 km through New Brunswick on the Trans-Canada Highway, passing through Fredericton and Moncton before entering Nova Scotia. PMG operates this route regularly — transit is typically 3–5 business days. We coordinate with the ferry terminals at North Sydney when applicable for Cape Breton-bound moves. Our crews are familiar with Halifax's narrow streets in the historic North End and the parking restrictions along Spring Garden Road.
Maritime moving tip: Halifax weather is famously unpredictable — fog, rain, and coastal storms can appear year-round. PMG wraps all furniture in waterproof moving blankets and uses sealed trucks to protect your goods throughout the journey. Nova Scotia has a 15% HST (harmonized sales tax) that applies to moving services. New residents must obtain a Nova Scotia driver's licence within 90 days of establishing residency.
