I had gmail for mail calender and contacts
When i signed in for icloud it asked me to merge my contacts when i said yes my contacts were on icloud (gmail)
For calendar i simply go on my phone and for each notes i change the calender from gmail to icloud (ok i dont have alot of calendars but yeah)
For mail i had to go to each site abnd modify my email adress in my profile

What exactly are you looking to migrate (e.g. email, contacts)?
Thanks!
Thanks. I have done this. I do want to completely migrate to iCloud moving all of my emails with me with the intention of deleting Gmail.

I had every intention of migrating over, but when I saw that you can't 'accept' calendar invites to let the other person know you're attending, I had to pass.
But if that doesn't bother you, you can go to your google calendar on the web, and export it, and if you import it into iCal, and sync that with iCloud you should be good from here on in.

Very cool. How do I move my email(s) with me?
You can download all your Gmail mail by setting up a POP3 client on your computer, but I don't think you'd necessarily be able to import that mail into iCloud.
I recommend against this. Gmail is a much better mail management platform than iCloud is at the moment. I sure as heck ain't moving to iCloud!
Give it some time, it will probably get better. But for now you're better off sticking with Gmail.

I tend to agree. I just linked my iCloud accounts with Gmail so I can send and receive all my me.com mail but continue using the Gmail interface.
Thanks
Thank you for your thoughts. I am still looking to move to iCloud.
Kind regards,

I don't think that there is a easy "migrate my email" option - Google does not allow email to be exported from the web client either. You would need to download your email to a POP3 or IMAP client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird etc), save it as a PST or whatever and then upload it to your iCloud email account.
