It doesn't appear that you will be doing much, if any, domestic flights within Canada so this doesn't really become a factor -- other than perhaps getting to YUL for your overseas flight.
The issue becomes which airline's FF program to sign up for, since you can choose from several SkyTeam members. I'm not familiar with those programs, so suggest you might pursue your query in the SkyTeam forum.
Thanks for your helpful response.
However, I should mention that I really don't want to fly from YUL anymore. I only did that once because the difference was significant. The cheapest flight I found to YYZ at that time was twice the price of the one to YUL. I guess the difference was that important because I booked the flight a week before departure (due to visa issues) and YYZ is more in demand than YUL. Now that I will be booking before 2 months, there isn't really much difference between YUL and YYZ, plus it would cost me $150 to get to Montreal (+ possibly a night in a hotel) yet not more than $12 to get to YYZ. And as Royal Air Maroc apparently doesn't have flights to YYZ, I don't think I would be flying on Royal Air anymore. Also, most of Air France's flights are from YUL. What about Alitalia or Air Canada ? They seem to have good deals.
