AI Consulting in Quebec
Quebec is structurally different from the rest of Canada. Loi 25 โ Quebec's private-sector privacy law โ has been fully in force since Sept 22, 2024, with section 12.1 ADM disclosure, section 14 informed consent, biometric declaration to the CAI, and penalties up to CAD $25M or 4% of global turnover. The AI ecosystem is the densest academic deep-learning cluster in the world: Mila has 1,300+ researchers, IVADO runs the applied-research consortium across UdeM/HEC/Polytechnique, and Scale AI โ the federal supply-chain Supercluster โ is headquartered in Montreal with CAD $280M+ committed funding. Quebec funds AI work aggressively beyond federal SR&ED: MEIE Innovation up to CAD $1.5M, the new CDAEIA tax credit (up to 30% refundable on eligible IT salaries for AI projects, applying to fiscal years beginning after Dec 31, 2025), and Scale AI co-funding up to CAD $120k per project. **Quebec City buyers** are served through this province page rather than a separate city page โ most provincial demand concentrates in Montreal and the Montreal-Quebec City corridor, and our delivery model handles both from one team. Our Montreal city page goes deeper on the applied-AI sector mix.

Frequently Asked Questions โ AI Consulting in Quebec
How does AIDOLS handle Quebec data residency under Loi 25?
All Quebec client data stays in Canadian regions by default with documented Loi 25 controls layered on top of PIPEDA โ section 12.1 ADM disclosure, section 14 informed consent, biometric declaration to the CAI, and the right to data portability. Loi 25 has been fully in force since Sept 22, 2024.

Nous architecturons pour l'article 12.1 (divulgation lors de dรฉcisions exclusivement automatisรฉes, accรจs aux donnรฉes utilisรฉes, observations pour rรฉvision humaine), l'article 14 sur le consentement รฉclairรฉ, et la dรฉclaration des systรจmes biomรฉtriques ร la CAI. Sanctions jusqu'ร 25 M$ ou 4 % du chiffre d'affaires mondial โ c'est de la conformitรฉ de production, pas une case ร cocher.
Does AIDOLS serve Quebec City as well as Montreal?
Yes. Quebec City buyers are served through this province page rather than a separate city page. We work the Montreal-Quebec City corridor as one delivery zone โ same engineers, same Loi 25 architecture, same 90-day delivery model. If Quebec City demand grows enough to justify a dedicated city page, we will build one.
Is AIDOLS work eligible for SR&ED and CDAEIA in Quebec?
Yes. SR&ED applies federally (Budget 2025: enhanced 35% ITC cap doubled from CAD $3M to $6M, capital expenditures restored, public corporations now eligible). The new Quebec CDAEIA tax credit provides up to 30% refundable on eligible IT salaries for projects with meaningful AI/automation, applying to fiscal years beginning after Dec 31, 2025. MEIE Innovation and Scale AI co-funding can stack on top. GrantOps prepares the layered claim.
AIDOLS travaille-t-elle en franรงais?
Oui. La documentation client, les contrats et les livrables sont disponibles en franรงais quรฉbรฉcois. Les รฉquipes de livraison incluent des ingรฉnieurs francophones. Notre page provinciale Quรฉbec et notre page Montrรฉal existent en versions franรงaise et anglaise.
How does AIDOLS work with Mila, IVADO, and the Scale AI ecosystem?
We translate research-grade AI into production systems. Mila has 1,300+ researchers and IVADO drives applied-AI consortium work across UdeM, HEC Montreal, and Polytechnique. Scale AI is the Montreal-headquartered federal supply-chain Supercluster with CAD $280M+ committed funding. We deploy what comes out of those ecosystems into enterprise production with Loi 25 documentation.
How fast can a Quebec engagement start?
Kickoff in 5-10 business days from signed scope. First measurable efficiency gains in 2-3 weeks. Full deployment inside 90 days. If we miss the ROI target, the fee is refunded in full.
How does AIDOLS compare to Big Four AI consulting in Quebec?
Outcome-based fixed pricing instead of billable hours, deployed AI systems instead of strategy decks, 30-50% lower total cost on comparable scope, and a contractual 100% ROI guarantee Big Four firms in Quebec do not offer.
