Moving to Ottawa: What You Need to Know
Ottawa, Canada's capital, is home to the federal government, embassies, and major employers in the tech and defence sectors. The city offers excellent quality of life with extensive bike paths, a world-class museum district along Sussex Drive, and a bilingual environment that welcomes French speakers from Quebec. Top neighbourhoods include the Glebe, Westboro, Alta Vista, Barrhaven, and the rapidly developing Kanata North tech corridor.
The Montreal–Ottawa route follows Autoroute 40 West for roughly 195 km, taking about two hours without traffic. Friday afternoon and long weekends see heavy congestion near the Quebec–Ontario border on Highway 417. PMG schedules Ottawa moves mid-week when possible to ensure smooth access. Ottawa's Centretown and Sandy Hill have older apartment buildings with tight elevator access — we always confirm building requirements before your move date.
Moving from Quebec to Ontario: You must transfer your Quebec driver's licence to an Ontario licence within 60 days of establishing residency. Vehicle registration transfers to Ontario require a safety inspection. Ontario has a 13% HST. Federal public servants moving for work may be eligible for relocation assistance — PMG provides official receipts and documentation to support government relocation claims.
