Has anyone here met with a financial planner to help with moving assets from the US to Canada? I'm moving from Seattle to BC in a couple of months and want to make sure I minimize any tax hit from the move, but getting quotes for $400 for a 50 minutes initial meeting which seems too much for me.

Sounds reasonable for someone well versed with cross-border tax/financial planning who is going to save you thousands. Beware of US planners or Canadian planners that will charge much less but only know their respective markets and are going to Google stuff you can do yourself for free.
