Doing Business in Montreal

Our work for Montreal clients usually starts with one channel, often a website, SEO or messaging, and grows into an integrated plan as results come in.

Montreal is Quebec's largest city and one of the largest French-speaking cities in the world. It is one of the world's leading aerospace centres, with companies such as Bombardier, CAE and Pratt & Whitney Canada, a major AI research hub around Mila, and a large video game and creative industry.

In Quebec, French is not optional: websites, ads and commercial messages aimed at Quebec customers need French versions, which we plan in from the start.

Key business areas include Downtown, Old Montreal, the Mile End, Saint-Laurent and Griffintown. Our work for Montreal clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (French and English) and the regulations of Canada.

Montreal Market Notes

Who your customers are

Montreal's customers include aerospace, AI and video-game studios, universities and a large student population, a strong hospitality and festival scene and a French-speaking majority with large English-speaking and immigrant communities. Quebec's language rules make French-first marketing and websites essential for most consumer businesses.

How they choose and contact a business

Montreal customers expect French-first service, and English-only marketing can alienate many buyers and may breach Quebec language rules. They discover businesses through Google, Instagram and local media, and value creative, culturally aware content. Bilingual support is a strong advantage.

When demand peaks

The summer festival season, including the Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs and the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix in June, is the busiest period. Moving Day on 1 July drives furniture, moving and home services, and Black Friday, the holidays and Igloofest in winter also shape demand. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches name Downtown, the Plateau, Mile End, Old Montreal, Griffintown, Rosemont, Saint-Laurent and Laval. B2B buyers cluster in Downtown and the Technoparc in Saint-Laurent, and retail traffic centres on Sainte-Catherine Street and the Underground City. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in Canada

Canadians are heavy smartphone users, and SMS and iMessage remain the default way to text friends, while WhatsApp is popular in immigrant communities, especially South Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin American households. Businesses typically send texts from toll-free or short-code numbers rather than alphanumeric sender IDs, which Canadian carriers do not generally support, and the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association administers the common short code programme.

Interac e-Transfer is the everyday way to send money between people, and debit (Interac) and credit cards dominate in-store. Prices are usually shown before GST/HST and provincial sales tax are added. Key retail moments include Boxing Day, Black Friday, back-to-school in late August and Canada Day on 1 July, and French-language versions are expected for audiences in Quebec.

Canada's economy includes energy, mining, forestry, agriculture, manufacturing and a large services sector, with banking concentrated in Toronto. Sales taxes vary by province: some combine federal and provincial tax into a single HST, while others charge GST plus a provincial tax. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires express or implied consent, sender identification and an unsubscribe mechanism for commercial electronic messages, including texts. Interac e-Transfer is the most common way to send money, and the National Do Not Call List covers telemarketing.

Compliance Overview for Canada

Commercial electronic messages in Canada, including SMS, are governed by Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). You need express or implied consent, must identify the sender and must include a working unsubscribe mechanism.

Canadian websites should follow PIPEDA (and provincial laws where applicable) for collecting personal information, with a clear privacy policy and meaningful consent.

Quebec's Law 25 adds strict privacy requirements, including consent, privacy officer and impact assessment duties, and the Charter of the French Language, as amended by Bill 96, requires French in commercial communications and on websites aimed at Quebec. Quebec's Consumer Protection Act also restricts commercial advertising directed at children under 13.

General information only, not legal advice. Each service page for Montreal covers the rules relevant to that channel. See also the messaging compliance guide for Canada and our industry guides.
