Moving to Montreal

Relocation services in Montreal

Relocating to Montreal means arranging a home while learning the city’s neighbourhoods, daily journeys, and practical routines. A role downtown creates a different search from one elsewhere on the island. Gullie coordinates the agreed housing, immigration, moving, and settling-in services around your household and the support your employer has chosen.

What to include in your Montreal brief

  • Workplace journey on STM services
  • Language preferences for appointments
  • Stairs, entrances and furniture sizes
Use the housing brief to compare actual properties

Planning life in Montreal

Use STM’s metro and bus information to compare the workplace journey from shortlisted homes. Areas such as the Plateau and central Montreal can offer different routines, but the address and connection matter more than a broad neighbourhood label. Include the return trip if your working hours vary.

Discuss language preferences for housing communication and appointments at the beginning. For the physical move, ask about stairs, entrances, and where a delivery vehicle can unload. A property’s layout can change which furniture is practical to bring.

Check the official transport information for Montreal.

What your relocation plan includes

The Montreal move brief should combine the housing criteria with any support needed for appointments and local orientation. Gullie coordinates the agreed services, while immigration questions go to the relevant qualified professional. Confirm what documents providers request, what the temporary stay includes, and when the longer-term home can accept a shipment.

We begin by agreeing the scope: who is moving, the origin, your intended arrival, and the budget or employer policy. Your preferences and any existing arrangements shape the plan. You should know which services are included, which decisions need your approval, and where a specialist or external provider is involved.

Housing support starts with a brief and a discussion of suitable options. Immigration support, where needed, is coordinated with the appropriate professionals. Moving and shipping arrangements depend on the belongings involved and the route. Family and settling-in support can be included in the agreed scope.

The Gullie platform gives the move a shared place for its details, documents, and timeline. As decisions are made, the team coordinates the agreed next steps. Before work begins, request a written scope and a breakdown of the expected service and provider costs.
