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.
