Moving nine in the first month
This is the one logistics gap a single vehicle cannot close.
- The largest family vehicles seat eight, so plan a ride-share budget or a small second rental as a bridge for the first 30 days, including the airport run.
- A second family car already in Canada can carry part of the group; confirm insurance covers the additional drivers.
- Register and insure the purchased vehicle within the first two weeks, and fit winter tyres before the first snow.
A 8-seat minivan carries 8 of nine, so a second vehicle may still be needed. Insurance quotes vary widely: bring driving-history letters and get real quotes.
