About this route

Who moves from Alberta to New Brunswick

About 1,305 people moved from Alberta to New Brunswick in each of the last two years, according to Statistics Canada (1,383 in 2024/2025, 1,226 in 2025/2026). That is 2.8% of everyone who left Alberta for another province or territory.

Traffic runs both ways — about 1,799 people a year move from New Brunswick back to Alberta — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

Moves on this lane peak in April–June, when 39% of the year's movers make the trip; October–December is the quietest quarter (11%).

Distance and transit time

Calgary to Moncton runs about 4,517 km on the road (57 hours behind the wheel). Car carriers stop for other vehicles on the load, so count on 6–10 days on the truck. The car heads east and crosses from Mountain to Atlantic time, so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.

On the road

  • The only Canadian road between east and west runs north of Lake Superior (Highways 11 and 17 in Northern Ontario). Winter storms can close it for hours, which is one reason long hauls cost more in January and February.
