About this route

Who moves from New Brunswick to Alberta

About 1,799 people moved from New Brunswick to Alberta in each of the last two years, according to Statistics Canada (1,637 in 2024/2025, 1,961 in 2025/2026). That is 16.7% of everyone who left New Brunswick for another province or territory.

Traffic runs both ways — about 1,305 people a year move from Alberta back to New Brunswick — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

Moves on this lane peak in July–September, when 34% of the year's movers make the trip; October–December is the quietest quarter (16%).

Distance and transit time

Moncton to Calgary 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 west-northwest and crosses from Atlantic to Mountain 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.
