Moving to Toronto: What You Need to Know
Toronto is Canada's largest city and financial capital, drawing professionals in finance, tech, film, and healthcare from across the country. The city's diverse neighbourhoods — from the trendy Leslieville and Kensington Market to the upscale Rosedale and Forest Hill — offer something for every lifestyle. Montreal expatriates often settle in the Annex, Little Portugal (near Dundas West), or the more affordable areas of Scarborough and North York.
The Montreal–Toronto corridor on Autoroute 40 West / Highway 401 is 540 km and takes 5.5 to 6.5 hours. PMG operates this route regularly. Toronto's downtown core has strict building access rules: most condo buildings on King West, Queen West, and in the Entertainment District require elevator bookings made 2–5 business days in advance, and many charge a deposit of $200–$500 refundable after move-in inspection. PMG handles this booking process on your behalf.
Ontario practicalities: You must transfer your Quebec driver's licence to an Ontario licence within 60 days. Ontario has 13% HST. Toronto's condo market often comes with strict size restrictions for moving trucks — underground parking garages frequently limit truck height to 2.1m. PMG carries a medium-size truck option for low-clearance buildings. Rush-hour traffic on the 401 through Mississauga adds 30–60 minutes to drive time.
