Canadians Are on the Move

October 15, 2025

According to Statistics Canada, Canadians are on the move

https://www.statcan.gc.ca/o1/en/plus/3333-canadians-move

  • Between 2019 and 2021, 2.1 million Canadian households (13.8%) relocated.
  • Renters (1.2 million) were more likely to move than homeowners (870,000), highlighting how mobility is an important part of Canadian life.


Why Canadians Are Moving:

  • Bigger or Better Homes (28%) – Many Canadians moved to find more space or better amenities.
  • More Desirable Neighbourhoods (16.8%) – Others sought improved communities or lifestyle changes.
  • Most movers (70.6%) cited just one main reason, proving that relocation decisions are often driven by a single key priority.


Who’s Moving and What Motivates Them

  • Young Adults (15–24): Moving for independence, school, or early career opportunities.
  • Millennials (25–40): Focused on career growth, family expansion, and homeownership.
  • Generation X (41–55): Often relocating to upgrade or rightsize their homes.
  • Older Adults (56+): Downsizing, saving costs, or moving closer to family for support.
  • Across all age groups, around 6% of movers experienced a forced move, often transitioning into rental housing afterward.

Make It Simple with a Portable Storage Solution

If you’re planning a move, one of the biggest challenges is keeping your belongings safe and organized during the transition.
That’s where My Store It Box comes in.

We make moving easier with portable storage boxes that give you the flexibility to pack at your own pace. Whether you’re relocating across town or between cities, you can rely on us for a smooth, stress-free experience.

If you’re looking to rent a portable storage box in Brockville, Leeds and Grenville, or Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry counties,  My Store It Box offers convenient, affordable options designed around your schedule.

Here’s How It Works

1. Plan and Reserve Early:
The first step to a smooth move is scheduling your portable storage container in advance. As soon as your moving dates are set, contact us to rent a portable storage box and confirm availability for your preferred days.

2. Delivery and Pickup — On Your Terms
We deliver the storage box right to your location — no driving, no heavy lifting, and no need to rent a moving truck. Once your items are loaded, we’ll pick up the container and deliver it directly to your new address.

You can also choose to store your unit at our secure storage facility in Morrisburg until you’re ready to unpack.

3. Transparent, Budget-Friendly Pricing
Traditional storage or moving services can be costly, especially for multi-week moves. With My Store It Box, you know in advance exactly what the total cost of your rental is by using our real-time quotation calculator, NO SURPRISES.  You can access it here: https://www.mystoreitbox.com/get-a-quote

4. Tilt-Free Delivery - More important than you might think
My Store It Box provides tilt-free delivery using the Cardinal GS2 Mule. https://www.mystoreitbox.com/cardinal-delivery-system.  This means that the storage container will always stay level and your items won't shift around as they are being moved between places. The added stability eliminates the possible damage and keeps your items in pristine condition. 

That said, it’s important to note that proper packing is still essential. Even with tilt-free delivery, there’s always some possibility of movement depending on how well items are secured inside the box. For example, bumpy roadways or sloped driveways can introduce slight shifts. While tilt-free technology minimizes the risk, My Store It Box cannot guarantee that items will never move — that ultimately depends on how carefully and securely the contents have been packed. 

5. Customer Service Reputation:
As with any purchase decision, it's a good idea to research the company and take a deep dive into its customer service reputation. Nothing is worse than thinking you've found a great option only to realize there are major problems. 

At My Store It Box we do not solicit accolades from our customers, BUT... we are active on several area Facebook groups.  Feel free to ask actual area residents what their experiences have been like:
