Laval: one city, one region and one economic service
Laval had 438,366 residents in Statistics Canada's 2021 Census. Its administrative situation is unusual: according to the Gouvernement du Québec regional profile (in French), the territory of the Laval region (region 13) is the same as that of the city, which covers all of Île Jésus, between the Rivière des Prairies to the south and the Rivière des Mille Îles to the north.
Commuting data from the same census offer another perspective: 76,110 of the 140,900 employed Laval residents with a usual place of work commuted to another Québec census division. If your staff are spread across several sites, partly work from home or move between Laval and Montreal, say so in your request. Access to applications, the security of remote connections and how staff reach IT support all depend on it.
The City of Laval presents Laval économique (in French) as the gateway for businesses in Laval: a group of business solutions experts serving companies that want to grow in an innovative, responsible and sustainable way, or to set up in Laval. Its personalized strategic advice covers start-up, growth, financing, business succession, export, innovation, real estate investment, talent, sustainable development and collective entrepreneurship. The same page reports 13,654 business establishments and 166,004 jobs in the territory in 2025.
The Laval économique website publishes sector profiles for life sciences and health technologies, manufacturing, information and communications technologies, retail and commerce, agri-food, collective entrepreneurship, and tourism and entertainment. It also refers to Laval's 2023-2027 strategic vision for economic development, unveiled in March 2023, which aims to be inclusive, collaborative, innovative and agile. For its part, the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Laval (in French) runs dedicated business communities, including for retail and local shops, sustainable entrepreneurship and professionals under 40.
Outsourcing IT support often means giving an outside firm access to workstations, accounts and sometimes personal information about customers or employees. Law 25, which covers every business in Québec, sets rules for these situations, including a written mandate with the provider; our Law 25 guide for SMBs reviews these obligations.
Courtier TI is not affiliated with any of the organizations mentioned here and does not manage their programs. What it does: receive your request, refine it with you and assign it to the IT services firm whose skills match your project. Describe your project at courtierti.com; the team will contact you.

Sample project (fictional scenario)
A distribution business that would like structured IT support
Commerce is one of the sector profiles published by Laval économique. Imagine a distribution business in this sector, with a showroom, a warehouse and about twenty employees, whose computer problems would be handled case by case by someone in the office administration. It would like to outsource this support. The Courtier TI team would first contact it to clarify the request: workstations and point-of-sale terminals to support, software in use, business hours to cover, tasks that would require the IT services firm to work in person. The request would then be assigned to the IT services firm whose expertise matches the need. Its quote could include a help desk for employees, workstation monitoring, account management and a simple way to report a problem. If the business accepted the quote, the IT services firm would carry out the mandate.
This scenario is fictional and for illustration only.
Frequently asked questions
My employees work in both Laval and Montreal: does that complicate the request?
No. Courtier TI accepts requests from Laval businesses as it does from businesses across Québec. State in your request where your workstations are located and which tasks would require the IT services firm to work in person: the Courtier TI team takes this into account before assigning the mandate.
What does a help desk include?
Depending on the quote, it can cover receiving employee requests, remote troubleshooting of workstations and software, tracking each request and managing accounts. State the number of users, the hours during which support must be reachable and the tools already in place.
Can Laval économique help fund an IT project?
Laval économique offers strategic advice, including on financing and innovation, to businesses located in Laval or planning to set up there. Contact it to learn about current programs and their criteria. Courtier TI does not administer these programs.
Do we need a written contract with the firm providing our IT support?
When a provider has access to personal information, Law 25 requires, among other things, a written mandate. Our Law 25 guide for SMBs sums up these rules; for your specific situation, consult a legal advisor. Courtier TI does not provide legal advice.
