Before hiring a moving company you should generally make sure you are dealing with a legitimately registered business.
Some moving companies are incorporated in a specific province or territory like Ontario and others are federally incorporated.
You can lookup federal corporations in the Corporations Canada online database here.

When looking to hire a moving company from Ontario, you may want to lookup your company in the provincial register.

Generally, all businesses — even federally incorporated ones — have to register in the province or territory in which they do business. This includes corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships (except those operating under a person's name). You may wish to seek information from the provincial registrars, some of which are available online, particularly when dealing with smaller businesses.
To see if a specific mover complies with regulations, simply select a company from the list.
