Why is July 1st moving day in Quebec

Moving day in Quebec originated in the 1974 law that moved the end of residential leases from April 30 to June 30. This decision was intended to protect families during the school year. Since then, July 1, which coincides with Canada Day, has become the most common moving date in Quebec, especially in Montreal, where thousands of households change addresses simultaneously.

How much does it cost to move to Montreal on July 1

The price of a move on July 1 is higher than in the low season due to massive demand and limited availability of trucks and teams. Rates can be two to three times higher than at other times. At WillGo Moving, we offer clear prices, explained in detail, as well as a free quote with no hidden costs.

Advantages and disadvantages of moving on July 1

July 1 is a public holiday, so you don't have to lose a day's work. There is also a wider range of housing options. However, high demand is leading to price increases, traffic jams, and a shortage of trucks. Calling on an experienced mover on July 1 helps to reduce these risks and ensure a structured process.

How to properly prepare for your July 1 move

A successful move to Quebec on July 1 is based on foresight. It is recommended to book your mover three months in advance, confirm your residential lease and plan the inventory.
