Orléans: what to know before moving
Latest source review: September 29, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.
Street access
The Orléans Corridor study is between Saint-Joseph Boulevard and Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard. It is one planning corridor within Orléans, not a boundary for every residential address in the suburb.[1]
Transport
The study identifies 4 station areas by name: Jeanne d’Arc, Convent Glen, Place d’Orléans and Trim. These names distinguish planning locations; the study page does not certify moving-day transit operations.[1]
Buildings
Ottawa’s corridor study considers density, massing and scale alongside main streets and public spaces. Its 6 strategic areas include station locations and the Jeanne d’Arc and Saint-Joseph corridors, which need separate address descriptions.[1]
Buildings
The City describes Centrum Boulevard as the Orléans Town Centre’s civic and cultural spine, with institutions, businesses and existing and planned mixed residential development. Its public/private paving transitions differ from a simple suburban driveway.[2]
Permit
Ottawa says a moving vehicle that follows existing parking regulations needs no encroachment permit. Street occupation requests by moving companies are not eligible for Temporary Consideration parking permits; they use the encroachment process.[3][4]
Bulky items
Ottawa’s curbside garbage collection is every 2 weeks with a 3-item limit; each piece of bulky furniture counts as 1 item. Additional garbage must fit in City yellow bags, but bulky furniture cannot be bagged or have a bag attached. Use the address-specific calendar when clearing the former home.[5]

How these figures were produced
- Hypothetical Orléans → Centretown example: an input distance of 19.3 km and duration of 19 min. Actual addresses can produce a different route.
- 1 bedroom: one bedroom set, a sofa and armchair, a dining set for four and 25 boxes (463 cu ft, 2,091 lb).
- Another Ottawa-Gatineau neighbourhood guide used in this example: Centretown.
- Stairs and elevators are counted at the pickup address in this neighbourhood; delivery is ground floor unless the column says both addresses.
- The model adds half an hour per flight of stairs, scaled by volume and capped at 3 hours, and 0.2 h of elevator waiting per address.
- The crew is what the model assigns: it grows with volume, weight and the number of items of 150 lb or more.
- Neutral scenario with no booking date, postal-zone or capacity adjustment. Your selected date, addresses and services can change the quote.
- Pricing version moving-freight-tax-ca-20260810-v2, captured 2026-09-27. Moving base amounts are in CAD before tax, with upward rounding in $25 increments.

Orléans moving questions
1
Does a station-area name identify the building to collect from?
No. The corridor study uses those names for planning areas. Provide the civic address, unit and actual loading entrance instead of directing the truck to the station landmark.
2
What should a Centrum Boulevard residence specify?
The City documents civic, commercial and mixed residential uses on this boulevard. Identify the dwelling’s own door and lawful service approach rather than assuming a civic plaza or shop entrance serves it.
3
Can corridor planning facts be applied to every Orléans house?
They concern the Saint-Joseph–Jeanne d’Arc corridor and its named strategic areas. A home elsewhere in Orléans needs its own property and street details.
4
What does a 2-bedroom move from Orléans cost in your pricing model?
For the example assuming 19.3 km to Centretown, $825 on Plus with ground-floor access, $950 with elevators at both addresses and $1,500 with two flights of pickup stairs, in CAD before tax. Your move's details can change the quote.
5
How many movers does a move out of Orléans need?
The model assigns 3 movers to the studio inventory ($600) and 4 to the 3-bedroom inventory ($1,000), in CAD before tax, for this ground-floor example assuming 19.3 km to Centretown.
6
Which trip did you use to price a move from Orléans?
A hypothetical scenario toward Centretown, using 19.3 km and 19 min as calculation inputs. These assumptions illustrate the model; confirm the actual route and duration for the selected addresses.
