A household move between two continents is not just transport — it is a sequence of decisions about packing, shipping mode, customs, insurance, and the first week in a new country. Here is how Barket Salah approaches each step so families arrive in Canada with their belongings intact and their nerves still intact too.
Assessment and Planning
We begin with a detailed inventory and home visit (in person or on video) to assess volume, fragility, and special items. That inventory drives the move date, the transport mode, and the price — no surprises later.
Packing and Materials
Fragile items get protective materials, double boxing, and custom crating when required. Every item is packed so it can take the handling of a multi-leg international move without damage.
Choosing the Transport Mode
Ocean freight is the economical choice but takes longer. Air freight is fast but expensive. For most household moves we combine the two — essentials by air, the rest by sea — so families are never left empty-handed in their new home.
Customs Procedures
Canadian customs for personal effects requires specific forms, a packing list, and supporting documentation. We prepare and submit everything on your behalf and stay engaged until release.
Delivery and Assembly
Once in Canada, our partners deliver to your address, unwrap and place your furniture, and reassemble beds, wardrobes, and dining sets so you can move in the same day if you wish.
Insurance and Protection
All household moves include a transit insurance option covering loss or damage. We walk you through the coverage levels before departure so you can pick the one that fits your inventory value.
Key Takeaway
A good household move is invisible from the customer's side — boxes arrive, everything is intact, and the paperwork is already done. That is the standard we aim for on every Turkey-to-Canada move.
