Does the location of where I move to or from have any effect on claiming the moving expenses?

Generally, the move must be from one place in Canada to another place in Canada but there are some exceptions as well. If you meet all the requirements of claiming moving expenses, you can claim eligible expenses for a move to/from Canada or two locations outside Canada if BOTH of the following apply to you:

• You are a full-time student or a factual/deemed resident of Canada (residing 183 days in Canada every year);
• You moved from the place where you originally resided to live in another place where you originally resided.
