The physical move is a project of its own. We work with established international shipping companies and pet-relocation partners, and we coordinate the pieces so they arrive when you do — or before, or after, whichever your plan needs. Everything quoted upfront by email.
The economical route for a household: your goods collected at your door in South Africa, containerised (full container or shared groupage), shipped, cleared, and delivered to your door in Canada. Slower — typically months, so timing it against your travel date is part of the plan — but the cost per cubic metre is a fraction of air.
Request a quote →For the things you need soon after landing — documents, tools of your trade, the kids' essentials, the boxes that make a rental feel like home in week one. Faster and priced by weight/volume, so it pairs well with a smaller, curated load alongside a sea shipment.
Request a quote →We assist with the full journey: state vet clearance on the South African side, flight arrangements, and Canada's import requirements on arrival. Rules depend on the animal and are set by the CFIA — we coordinate the process and the paperwork trail with you and the vets.
Ask about your animal →Want your animals to land before you do, or only once you've found your feet and a pet-friendly rental? We arrange either — including boarding on this side while you get settled.
Plan the timing →We can book anything from a practical kennel to a luxury pet hotel — the kind with daily pool swims, swimming lessons, cameras in their rooms so you can check in from anywhere, and treat menus where you buy the snack and watch it delivered. Your dog might settle in faster than you do.
Ask about boarding →We can arrange pickup services for your family's landing — from the airport to your temporary accommodation — and coordinate delivery days so your air freight, your animals and your keys converge in the right order.
Arrange a pickup →Shipping, pets, pickup and the first 90 days work best as one coordinated plan — that's exactly what our Move Coordination service does. One point of contact; every moving piece tracked.
