One of our two Canadian locations. A location alone does not make you compliant, so check the data and contractual requirements for your project.
Where it is and who it suits.

Two things to think through.
Compare Montreal with Toronto and the relevant audience regions by mapping live data, backups and external application calls. A Canadian city label describes geography; it does not establish contractual data handling or where every dependency processes information. Record those facts separately.
For applications serving multiple audience groups, compare realistic content and workflows as well as network access. Large uploads, interactive dashboards and scheduled integrations place different demands on the environment. Choose resource and location assumptions around those actions.
Distances from Montreal to the closest GLWS locations.

Distances are straight-line between city centres. The minimum round trip assumes light in fibre at about 200,000 km a second and a straight cable. Real routes are longer, so always test from your own audience. For a second site that survives a regional outage, Dublin is about 4,760 km from Montreal.
A nearby server is only one part of your application.
Compare the route from the audience networks you expect to serve. Test real requests, not only a location label.
Count remote APIs, databases, sign-in providers and backup destinations when you plan.
Write down how data is restored and who can do it. A copy in another location only helps if you can recover from it.
