What to know about moving a business in Ottawa

Ottawa is Canada's capital, and a large share of its office space is leased by the federal government, its contractors and the tech firms of Kanata North. These clients often have security rules for who enters the building and how records leave it.

Some moves cross the river to Gatineau, which is in Quebec. A move between Ottawa and Gatineau is short but crosses a provincial line, so plan permits and building rules on both sides.

Ottawa: facts that affect a move

  • Population of Ottawa: 1,017,449 (2021 Census). Source
  • Ottawa does not issue Temporary Consideration parking permits for contractor or moving trucks. Those requests go through the City's process for temporary construction-related encroachments. Source

Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the city and both buildings before the move.

Moves into federal or secure buildings often need crew names and security clearance in advance. Ask the building how much notice it needs.
