Transfering in YUL from domestic to international flight
Hello!
I have a question regarding a transfer in YUL from a domestic flight (from Toronto) to a connection flight to Europe - both on Air Canada, if that matters. When I arrive in YUL, do I have to go through any checks or security before arriving at my gate for my transatlantic flight?
The reason why I am asking: If someone was flying with me on the first flight to Montreal, could that person join me until my next flight is boarding, or would we have to say goodbye at an earlier point already?
Thank you very much for your help!

There may be a passport check but that's about it (and they will check your passport when boarding the TATL segment.)
The other person can join you provided they remain in the sterile area, and they must leave the sterile area of the airport to retrieve any checked bags.

No. You will have cleared security in Toronto, and you will be placed in the sterile area upon landing in Montreal.

There is no separation between them - as AA_EXP09 identified, as long as you don't leave the secured area after deplaning from YYZ, you can stay together.
