About this route
Markham to Calgary by car carrier
At roughly 3,434 km, Markham to Calgary is a cross-country haul — about 40 hours of driving. With stops to load and unload other cars, plan on 5–8 days in transit once the car is picked up. The car heads west-northwest and crosses from Eastern to Mountain time, so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
Moving from Ontario to Alberta
About 26,061 people moved from Ontario to Alberta in each of the last two years, according to Statistics Canada (27,777 in 2024/2025, 24,344 in 2025/2026). That is 30% of everyone who left Ontario for another province or territory — no other province draws more people from Ontario. See the Ontario to Alberta guide →
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.
