It prostitution legal in Montreal?

Travel Info
I heard it is. If you call a escort service up there, I heard that's equivalent to a booty cal. True?

Travel Tips

Prostitution is illegal in Canada, including Montreal.

Escort services exploit a somewhat arguable interpretation of the law as only solicitation for profit from sexual intercourse is forbidden. Escorts are considered "accompaniment", not implying sexual intercourse de facto.

You have far less chances getting caught being a bad boy (or girl) if you use escort services at legitimate hotels or private homes than trying to hook up with the not so sexy lady standing on corner of St-Laurent and Ste-Catherine. (second is a sure shot at getting your licence plate being tracked down by the police)

That said, what the escort asks for her services makes it also illegal. A call to the local police station from a pissed off Concierge can get you in serious trouble. Many hotels do not tolerate girls from cheap agencies as they are more likely to be addicted and far more recognizable than the establishment's client猫le.

No its not legal. Do not get caught. Humans are still humans.

Very true. It is the same in most cities. The Escort Services keep moving the girls around to different parts of the country. They may work in Montreal for a month and then they will go to another city while a new bunch goes to Montreal.
perhaps that's true, but prostitution is not legal.
Prostitution is legal throughout Canada; only solicitation is not. A lawyer told me one way to get around that is, "Was it good for you?" "Nope, gimme money." Find your escort service in the newspaper, not the phone book--they go out of business regularly.
Yes, we have escort services, however they are not prostitutes...They are dates, but most will put out for a sum
prostitution is not legal in Montreal.
