Congrats, relocation packages are rare these days. The last time I needed to move for a job (from VA to FL) I had to foot the bill myself (of course, this was the company that at one point stopped buying office supplies and made us bring in our own pens).
That said, $30,000 is pretty decent, though I've only moved within the US, so I'm not sure of the costs associated with moving from Canada.
The one relo package I've received during the course of my career reimbursed the cost of moving my household goods (we rented a 'POD' and a couple of helpers at either end of the move), gas/mileage for the long drive, per diem for meals, and up to X nights in a Hotel. It didn't cover things like rental deposits, costs associated with setting up utilties/services, DMV fees in the new state, etc. All in all, it probably covered about $15-$20k worth of moving expenses for a coast-to-coast move.
