Connecting at YYZ, but not sold as connection
Flying YUL-YYZ-FCO. This is 2 different flights booked. 1 from YUL-YYZ and the other YYZ-FCO. There is 5 hours between.
Do we think Air Canada can check the bag through or is it safer just to pick up the bag and recheck it?
Note: Flying J, so no baggage fees anyways.

Yup present both tickets at check-in at YUL, and they'll be attached, your bag checked through, and your BP's issued all the way to FCO.
You might even have a case to get the YYZ AIF refunded down to the $4 "connecting" level rather than the $25 departing fee by sending in both tickets to refund services after the flight with an appropriate explanation.

Uhmm, my experience is transfer by traditional method; walking.
2 TPAC connections through YYZ under the auspices of Signature Service.
Not complaining though as the walk is good for me. A YYZ TPAC for me is usually 10-12 hours of being crammed under the painful B777 table. I never know if I might get on a flight with Kit Kats or the rare Lindt, so I need to burn a few calories, just in case.

(my bolding & colouring)
Later this year, Air Canada Signature Class customers will be offered Air Canada Valet Service, powered by BMW across the tarmac when connecting from a domestic to an international flight at Toronto Pearson.

My father is planning on fly the following
PVG - YYZ - MCO
MCO - YYZ - CDG
due to obvious reasons we could not buy them via AC as O/W EU is literal robbery
PVG - YYZ will be J
YYZ - CDG will be PY(most likely upgraded to J)
Can he connect in YYZ for both cases?

What are you trying to do there? Ditch the YYZ-MCO-YYZ flights, and merely connect at YYZ? I don't really understand what you're asking.
