Now we live in the western part of Toronto, we have found new housing in east part, near the lake. How to move at once? We have many things. What if to use the help of http://www.mmovers.ca/ for example? Interest responses if someone knows.

There are a few different options. You can hire a moving company who will use a truck or van large enough to accommodate all your belongings, boxes, furniture, etc, and they will load it up and drive it and unload it all in one go, unless you really do have more stuff than even a huge truck can take.

If you have less stuff than that, you can hire your own van from a company like U-Haul, and drive it yourself. You could use one of those and have someone else load up the car and drive that too.

Consult various moving companies and get quotes /estimates from them. They will ask in detail about your belongings, and they can estimate what size of vehicle will be able to carry everything in one drive.

You could try something like PODS

Rent a truck larger than you need.
Drive it to your old address.
Load all of your belongings into it.
Drive it to your new address.
Unload all of your belongings out of it.
Return it to where you rented it from.

If no such truck exists because you have too many belongings, make two trips or rent two trucks.

I'm not really sure why there is any confusion in this process ??

The OP mentioned that they are moving a west to east distance which I get the feeling she might be concerned about doing in more than one trip. She seems to want to avoid making two trips.

It may in reality not be that great a distance, but perhaps she has never moved before and it seems like a problem to HER even if it wouldn't be to us.

She may just be looking for reassurance that it's not insurmountable.

It's not uncommon for someone on the spectrum to feel like a problem that seems simple to others looks confusing and complicated to them.
