as for pre-k schools in montreal, here's some information i found:

School is compulsory for all children from 6 to 16 years of age. Some 110,000 students made their way back to classrooms in Quebec’s 340 English public schools September 2007.

The education system in Montreal consists of four levels of instruction offered in English and in French: primary, which includes preschool, secondary, college and university. The school year begins at the beginning of September and usually ends on June 24 for primary and secondary school and in the month of May for college and university students. Public education from preschool to college is free for Quebec residents and for the children of foreign workers with temporary work permits.

you should probably contact the school board association. it says that preschool is free for residents, so your son would probably have to go to a certain preschool, whichever was closest to where you live. but i really don't know! so call the toll free number to find out what you should do!
