We have received updates from our partners and agents in Canada regarding ongoing strike activity that has led to closures at the Ports of Vancouver, nearby Prince Rupert, and most of Montreal. As a result, inland rail service to and from these ports is also impacted, causing significant delays. The inland Port of Toronto, which relies on these rail connections, will also face delays.

Planning Your Move to Canada

For customers planning to move to Canada, especially to cities such as Montreal, Vancouver, or Toronto, we recommend considering storage solutions with Abels prior to shipment. This will allow time for port congestion to ease, reducing potential disruptions.

The Port of Halifax on Canada’s East Coast remains an operational alternative; however, due to the increased traffic, it may also lead to delays. Our team is closely monitoring the situation and has proactively reached out to clients with shipments en route to the affected ports.

For any queries or concerns, particularly if you’re moving to Montreal, Vancouver, or Toronto, please contact your Move Coordinator, who will be pleased to provide assistance and guidance.
