About this route
Kitchener to Surrey by car carrier
At roughly 4,260 km, Kitchener to Surrey is a cross-country haul — about 47 hours of driving. With stops to load and unload other cars, plan on 6–9 days in transit once the car is picked up. The car heads west-northwest and crosses from Eastern to Pacific time, so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
Moving from Ontario to British Columbia
About 19,364 people moved from Ontario to British Columbia in each of the last two years, according to Statistics Canada (20,096 in 2024/2025, 18,632 in 2025/2026). That is 22.3% of everyone who left Ontario for another province or territory, making British Columbia its #2 destination. See the Ontario 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.
- 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.
