After receiving our acceptation from the canadian embassy, we had to send them our passports in order to obtain this precious sesame because it’s the key to enter in Canada, and in Quebec.

It’s officially the BIG step that will bring us to Montréal.

Since the 6th October I receive daily quotes more or less interesting from the removal companies. The prices can really vary and let’s you believe that some companies wants to get rid of you by sending you a crazy one !

Natross, Moveplus, Oman, Sevenseas, Aachener (UK Euro) International, Careline… I ask them more information as who packs? with what? Doors to doors? Doors to port? …  some answer, other not, it’s already a first selction automatically done. We can’t decide at the moment the final winner as it’s too soon.

Our aim at the moment is to get an idea on how much it will cost us to include it on our budget.

To move to ireland it was easy as we had the car and the ferry, but here, we have to find another solution.

• Luggage Exces? To expensive regarding the volume we have.
• Cargo? Fast as per plane, but still too expensive regarding the volume.
• Container? That’s what we need! Ok, the delay is 6 to 8 weeks, but, at least we can bring our precious goods after a long discussion on what we’ll bring or not (poor me! )

Our solution choosen, we can now searching for THE right company. The problem is to find it from ireland, because all the forum and website I read were talking about removal from France. Ask to a removal company etablished in France a quotation for a pick up in ireland and you’ll have cold sweats.

Armed with my keyboard and my friend Google I’m ready to find it using the right keywords… removal company, shipping goods to canada, shipping personal effects… and so on.

I finally found some websites. Filling the form in one clic (thanks FireForm), and, a second on the sent button I’m ready for waiting the verdict.
