The first is the best and most formal. The second is fine for informal speach. The third doesn't work.

Doesn't work. It has been a year since you moved to, or It's been a year since you have moved to.

Hi guys,
As I see it, there might be a little difference in meaning between the first two.
It's been a year since you moved to Canada.... (he/she might not live there anymore)
It's been a year since you've moved to Canada.... (he/she's still living there)
The third one obviously doesn't work.
By the way, you may just as well omit 'be
