A useful article

Something that I had not thought about was transporting electrical goods when moving to Canada.

Here is a useful article about moving electrical goods:

Compatability of Goods

I think for a lot of things it will just be worth not taking them across and getting replacement items there. I did know a Finnish guy a few years ago and he told me that he just sold everything that he had and just moved with the clothes that were on his back.

I very much doubt that I will do anything as drastic as that, but there is definitely an advantage to traveling as lightly as possible.
