4 Insanely Easy Organizing Tips for an International Move

by Dominic Fortugno Owner at International Shipping Company

People migrate from one country to another for various reasons like a new job, better career opportunities, superior education system, etc. Whatever your reason, before you move to another country, there is a lot of things that you must organize. International moving companies in Toronto can help you out regarding a lot of these aspects. From paperwork to packing and transporting your belongings, it’s an elaborate procedure which might be tedious.

This post outlines four easy-to-execute packing tips which will help you to smoothly manage your international move.

      1.      Leave behind most of your clothes except the essentials

Dedicate a day or two to sorting your clothes out. Go through them all and decide which ones you rarely wear, or which do not fit. Donate and sell these items and pack only the essentials. Keep in mind the climate of the country you are moving to while choosing the clothes you will take with you. The heavy fur jackets and windbreakers may not be necessary for example.


2.       Complete basic documentation at soon as possible

Banking, existing contracts, school-related information, and paperwork from your international movers are some major documents you have to take care of.

Ø  You will need to sort out the existing debts and transactions with your bank and acquire the relevant documents.

Ø  Existing contracts like phone plans, memberships of any kind, and other subscriptions have to be cancelled. This will incur certain cancellation fees and you need to calculate whether it is feasible to cancel or pay off the entire subscription.

Ø  If you are moving with your kids, you will have to get the transfer certificates from the school and also look for better schools in the new city. Make sure you have copies of the transfer documents to make the transition easier.


 3.       Consider the size of your new home

Your new home may be bigger or smaller than your current one. Hence, taking all your current furniture may not be the best idea, particularly if you have plans to decorate the new house in an entirely different way. Some factors that you must consider are,

Ø  Your new home may not be able to accommodate all your furniture and possessions. Hence, ship only those items which are essential and has sentimental value to you.

Ø  Are you renting the new home? Chances are that it will be partly furnished and hence, you will not need to move all your furniture.

Ø  The feasibility of the cost of international shipping from Canada to the destination country should be considered. 


4.       Shipping your personal vehicles if possible

Whether you own a car or a bike, moving a vehicle to another country involves numerous paperwork and customs regulations. International shipping companies in Toronto have the facilities to ship large as well as small vehicles to almost any country in the world. You will have to contact a reputed company who are authorized to ship your vehicle to the destination country. However, do consider the expenses of shipping vs. the expense of selling off your old car and buying a new one to take the right steps. If you have a relatively new car or own a classic or vintage vehicle, it is an asset that you should not give up on.

When you are moving to another country, it is a life-altering event in every way. Worrying about the move can lead to silly mistakes you cannot afford to commit. Hiring an efficient international moving company in Toronto for assistance can simplify your work to a large extent.
