TWO OCEANS — PACIFIC & ATLANTIC GATEWAYS

Canada ships from two coasts: the Pacific ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert face Asia and offer the fastest North American sailings to China and Japan; the Atlantic and St. Lawrence gateways of Montreal and Halifax face Europe and the Mediterranean. Together with the air hubs of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal and the USMCA land network to the US and Mexico, they connect Canadian industry — autos, machinery, agriculture, forestry and minerals — to every major market.

From Canada, sea freight reaches North Europe in 9–13 days from Montreal and Halifax, and Turkey in 16–22 days via the Mediterranean; transpacific sailings reach China in 14–18 days from Vancouver; air cargo reaches Istanbul and the European hubs in about a day; and road freight links the USMCA region in 1–7 days. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Canadian factories, farms and inland ramps — export compliance, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.

Common Questions

FREIGHT FROM
CANADA — FAQ.

What is the fastest way to ship from Canada to Turkey and Europe?

Air freight from Toronto (YYZ), Montreal (YUL) or Vancouver (YVR) reaches Istanbul and the main European hubs in about a day door-to-door. Sea freight is the most economical mode for volume: Montreal or Halifax to North Europe (Rotterdam, Hamburg) runs 9–13 days across the Atlantic, and to Turkey (Mersin/Istanbul) 16–22 days via the Mediterranean. Transit times are indicative and depend on the carrier's service loop and routing.

How long does sea freight from Canada's East and West coasts take?

Indicative: Montreal/Halifax to North Europe 9–13 days; East Coast to Turkey 16–22 days via the Med; Vancouver/Prince Rupert to China 14–18 days transpacific; Vancouver to Japan 11–16 days; East Coast to India 22–28 days via Suez; East Coast to the UAE 22–28 days. FCL (20'/40') and LCL groupage are both available. LCL adds 3–5 days for consolidation and deconsolidation.

Can you ship by road from Canada to the USA and Mexico?

Yes. FTL and LTL road freight runs across the USMCA (CUSMA) land network — to the USA (New York, Chicago, Detroit) in 1–3 days and to Mexico (Monterrey, Mexico City) in 4–7 days, depending on origin and border crossing. We handle the cross-border customs formalities and documentation at the US and Mexican borders.

Which ports and airports do you work with in Canada?

Sea: Vancouver (CAVAN) and Prince Rupert (CAPRR) on the Pacific; Montreal (CAMTR) on the St. Lawrence and Halifax (CAHAL) on the Atlantic. Air: Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Montreal (YUL) and Calgary (YYC). We arrange pickup from any province, inland rail ramp or distribution center.

Do you handle agricultural and bulk commodity exports?

Yes. Grain, canola, pulses and potash are among Canada's leading exports. We handle bagged, containerised and bulk agricultural and mineral cargo, with the documentation, phytosanitary certificates and inspections required at destination. We advise on packaging and classification before shipment.

What export documents does a Canadian exporter need?

Standard documents: commercial invoice, packing list, the transport document — bill of lading (sea), airway bill (air) or CMR (road to the US/Mexico) — and an export declaration through the CBSA CERS where required. A certificate of origin or, where CETA (EU), CUKTCA (UK) or CUSMA applies, a preferential origin declaration can reduce duties. Some goods require CFIA or other agency clearance. We advise before shipment.

What goods are commonly exported from Canada?

Leading Canadian exports include vehicles and auto parts, machinery and industrial equipment, agricultural products (wheat, canola, pulses), forestry products (lumber, pulp, paper), and minerals and metals (aluminium, potash, ores). High-value and time-sensitive cargo moves by air, while bulk and containerised consignments move by sea from the coastal gateways.
