The world has changed in numerous ways over the last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people have put much of their lives on hold, working from home or being unable to work at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, there still are many reasons why you might need to move at this time, despite (or even because of) the pandemic. Since this time is so unprecedented, many questions come up when planning a move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DelSuites is here to answer them all and help make this process as smooth as possible for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving Right Now<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first question is probably, \u201cCan I even move at this time?\u201d The simple answer is yes. There are apartment buildings that are limiting or not allowing the move-in\/move-out process currently so the best option is to contact everyone directly to verify. Also, something might come up that would require you to delay or cancel a move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most businesses have new guidelines with more flexibility than usual for these situations. All DelSuites buildings are allowing people to move-in or move-out, with <\/span>rules and restrictions<\/span><\/a> in place to keep everybody as safe as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Touring a New Place<\/span><\/h2>\n

While touring your potential new home is still available, it is discouraged so you can adhere to social distancing protocols. Luckily, DelSuites includes as many photos as possible on our website and has virtual tours and video links offered as an alternate solution to tours. Also, tours by video call are available as another safe option to view a place while keeping everybody healthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Purchasing Moving Supplies<\/span><\/h2>\n

Both packing supply stores and big box stores are considered essential and are still opened at this time. You should be able to purchase anything you need at one of these. If you want to keep even safer and order online, please keep in mind that there have been shipping delays during this time. Make sure to give yourself enough time for any packages to arrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying Safe While Traveling<\/span><\/h2>\n

At a personal level, you can stay safe while traveling by keeping socially distanced from others as much as possible, always wearing your mask, and washing your hands thoroughly as often as possible. If you are traveling by air or rail, follow all rules and recommendations provided by the company providing the service. And before anything, be sure to check the Public Health Agency of Canada\u2019s <\/span>latest updates<\/span><\/a> about everything COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traveling Between Provinces<\/span><\/h2>\n

Canada currently does not have any federal restrictions on traveling between provinces. There may be provincial or territorial rules and restrictions in place for where you are moving to so it is best to check <\/span>government websites<\/span><\/a> for the most current rules. If you\u2019re moving to Ontario from another province, Ontario\u2019s Chief Medical Officer of Health strongly advises that you self-isolate for 14 days after arriving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying Clean While Moving In<\/span><\/h2>\n

As long as you follow all guidelines recommended by the <\/span>Public Health Agency of Canada<\/span><\/a> and verify that the businesses you\u2019re dealing with are doing the same, everybody should be kept clean and safe during this process. If you\u2019re moving into a DelSuites location, we offer numerous pre-arrival and quarantine assistance:<\/span><\/p>\n
