About this route
Calgary to Burnaby by car carrier
Expect about 960 km from Calgary to Burnaby — 2–3 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads west-southwest and crosses from Mountain to Pacific time, so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
Moving from Alberta to British Columbia
About 19,504 people moved from Alberta to British Columbia in each of the last two years, according to Statistics Canada (19,245 in 2024/2025, 19,762 in 2025/2026). That is 42.2% of everyone who left Alberta for another province or territory — no other province draws more people from Alberta. See the Alberta to British Columbia guide →
On the road
- The route crosses the Rocky Mountains. From October to March, snow on the mountain passes can hold trucks for a day, and British Columbia requires winter tires or chains on most of its highways.
