Of course we’re a little biased, but if you are relocating to Toronto we hope you know it really is one of the coolest, safest, greenest cities in North America…offering an incredible quality of life whether you’re searching for financial and economic security, amazing and impressive cultural diversity, a thriving and extravagant food scene (that even respects and understands artisanal ice-cream and the ‘indie’ coffee scene) or a tapestry of different neighbourhoods to choose from to call your own.

Welcome Home!

One of the things that make it so great is that the city has been built by people who have undergone their own relocation to Toronto, from all over the world since the city’s inception. With over 180 languages and dialects spoken here you can be assured that you’ll be immersed in an incredible cultural mecca. Toronto is also the fastest growing city in North America, so in terms of relocating to Toronto, apparently, you’re in very good company!

The challenge is that what makes us great can also mean that relocating to Toronto can be a daunting experience. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) spans 7,124 square kilometers. Toronto itself has 140 unique neighbourhoods in the city alone, and smaller cities, towns and suburbs also surround it. With over 6 million people, how do you find a place that feels like home? For this reason, it’s critically important to choose one of the top destination services companies like relo-to to help you focus on where and how it makes sense for you to land! We become your partner throughout the process and are here to respond every time you ask for help!

Our Toronto office boasts a strong team of partners and vendors – local and transplanted. Their shared know-how and resourcefulness guarantees a capability and capacity unparalleled. For anyone relocating to Toronto, we are your true experts on the ground in the Greater Toronto area offering concierge relocation services. We are people who understand the ‘art of moving’ in a very stressful time. This is what we live, work and breathe every day and we are proud to be your local connection.

Relo-to’s relocation services are an accessible and affordable way to bring a layer of calm and comfort to what can otherwise be a very stressful time in your life. A lot of complex things come together over a very short period when you are relocating to Toronto and we want you to know we will be able to help you manage the critical elements like:

• What do I need to know BEFORE I go?
• With confidence, who can move my household goods?
• What are the best neighbourhoods for temporary housing?
• How do I navigate the rental housing market without a Canadian credit history? (Oh, and how do I build a credit history when I arrive?)
• What neighbourhood suits my/our personality and energy?
• Where do I start with school registration?
• Which piece of Government Documentation should I get first? (And why?)
• When am I eligible for Ontario’s Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) and how do I apply?
• Which banks are best for ‘newcomers to Canada’
• How do I find the best activities for my kids?
• Do you offer a virtual package?
• Why do we drink milk out of bags? (It’s true, we do!)
• And…so much more!

We can’t wait to meet you!
