Move from Canada to the United States

Fred Hawthorne is a tenured relocation professional who manages a fairly large local and long distance hauling fleet at abbeyWood Moving and Storage, a United Van Lines agent located in Scarborough, Ontario. Recently he decided to combine his teaching background with his extensive moving and storage industry experience to produce several very informative video tutorials to assist Canadian residents, snowbirds, and transferred expatriates who’ve decided to move from Canada to the U.S. under their own steam. The information is part of the company’s new online library developed to assist anyone facing an upcoming relocation.
