If you’re a member of the Canadian Armed Forces planning a posting, you may have heard that BGRS (Brookfield Global Relocation Services) has transitioned to a new name: Sirva.
For our clients relocating to or from Ottawa, this change might sound like a big shift—but the reality is simple: your move process stays exactly the same. As an expert military realtor in Ottawa, I’ve guided hundreds of CAF families through their House Hunting Trips (HHTs) and relocations, and we’ll continue to work with you in the same way as before. Some of the procedures with service providers has changed as the cost allowance for certain services. However, impact should be minimal to our CAF clients.
Who is Sirva?
Sirva is a global leader in relocation and moving services. They specialize in supporting government, corporate, and military relocations, with operations across Canada and worldwide. By taking over BGRS, Sirva now manages the relocation services that CAF members have always relied on.
What This Means for CAF Members in Ottawa
- Same relocation process. Whether you’re buying, selling, or renting a home in Ottawa, the steps remain familiar.
- Trusted support. We remain your dedicated partner for HHTs, negotiations, and navigating the Ottawa real estate market.

Bottom Line
