Of course, you're probably better off on a 777 from YYZ, than on a 767 from YUL, just because there are so many more seats on 777. But if you can find a 777 from YUL, then with M class + connection = great shot at upgrade.
I have read often that connecting pax have upgrade priority. Is there empirical evidence to justify it?
