We moved for personal reasons. Can we claim moving expenses?

Moving expenses can only be claimed if you move more than 40 km closer to your job.  

According to CRA:

If you have moved and established a new home to be employed or run a business at a new location, you can deduct eligible moving expenses from the employment or self-employment income you earned at your new location.
