Set up your move
Visit our Moves page to get your move started, you can leave us your details and we'll give you a call back or you can message us online. It's best to give us a couple weeks notice if possible.
Be ready with:
- Your new address. Inform us of any special considerations (newly built house, apartment with a utility closet). Not sure if Shaw services are available at your new location? Check to see if Shaw services are available in your area.
- Dates. The day you're leaving the old address and the day you need services connected. We can book up to 6 weeks out from when we chat.
- A phone number to get in touch with you during the move.

Need to upgrade your service?
New home, new you. What you had before may not be the right fit for your new place. In most moves you can just bring your old equipment and services over, but you're free to consider and upgrade:
Going to be working from home? Make sure you're on the right internet plan.
Want the newest and shiniest gadgets for your new place? Visit one of our retail stores for Smart Home products.
Need a new mobile line for a new city? Shaw Mobile is looking bright.
No better time for a change than when you're already unplugging everything. Visit our offers page for more plans and ask about new programming and equipment when you chat online.
