Connecting in YUL
I'm planning a flight from LHR to YQB, point of entry to Canada is YUL. Will I have to reclaim my baggage in YUL and go through customs with it like in YVR? Or will it be through checked and I won't see it until YQB?

The following is from the Aeroports de Montreal webpage:

If your flight originated from outside Canada or the United States and you need to take a connecting flight to a Canadian destination, you must clear Canadian customs. It is very important to remember that you must personally pick up your luggage, which you may then leave at the connecting-flight counter located immediately after you leave the customs hall.
You must then follow the normal procedure for Canadian departures and go through pre-boarding screening checkpoint A. Note that liquids, gels and creams in containers larger than 100 ml/100 g (3.4 oz) must be carried in your checked luggage. Such items, even if sealed, will not be allowed through pre-boarding screening checkpoints.
