Planning an appointment in Montréal

Ask whether the service can be delivered online for your goals. Confirm the appointment time zone, technology, privacy arrangements and any equipment you need.

Mention accessibility needs, language preferences, transit or parking requirements, and how far you are willing to travel. This helps professionals assess your request; it does not automatically expand their approved service areas.

Before and after your visit

Ask the professional about preparation and aftercare specific to your appointment. Confirm what to bring, how changes or cancellations are handled, and whether repeat visits are optional or part of a proposed plan. Do not pay for a package without reading its expiry and refund terms.

Local appointment context

On the island of Montréal, the city and the island are not the same thing. The city is organised into 19 boroughs, such as Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, while places like Westmount, Mont-Royal and Pointe-Claire became separate municipalities again in 2006. Naming your borough or town helps a request land with the right people.

Language

French is Quebec's official language, and many professionals work in both French and English. If you'd prefer your appointment in one language, add it to your request. It's a reasonable thing to ask for and saves an awkward first call.

Getting there

Plenty of studios are close to a métro station, which makes timing easier in winter. If you're off-island, on the South Shore or in Laval, say whether you'll come into the city or want someone closer to you.

These local notes are awaiting named review. They are not a service-specific local assessment.

How requests in Montréal are matched

You choose a service, confirm Montréal as your area and describe timing and preferences. No medical history.

Your request is shared only with approved professionals who have told us they offer that service in Montréal, cover the whole province, or work virtually when you say you're open to it.

They see the service, broad area and timing first. Your name and contact details are released only to professionals authorized for your request, and they reply to you directly.

An honest note on supply: we accept requests from every municipality in Canada, but accepting a request is not the same as having a matched professional. Professionals are joining area by area, so in some places you may hear from several, from one, or from no one yet.
