Planning garment orders for Montreal
Cold winters, so fleece and knitwear sell from September to March; peaks include Black Friday, Diwali, Eid and back-to-school. We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Vancouver in about 30–45 days; production takes 25 to 60 days, so confirm peak-season orders for Montreal three to five months ahead.
How an order reaches Montreal
Goods for Montreal are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Vancouver, which is Montreal itself, so clearance and delivery happen locally. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
Importers in Montreal usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.
Why importers in Montreal source garments from India
Buyers want cotton basics, hoodies, activewear, winter wear, ethnic wear and workwear for cold conditions. Indian factories supply the fabrics these buyers ask for, such as cotton, rayon, linen blends, denim and knits, in small design runs, which suits importers in Montreal who test a range before they commit to larger orders.
Importers in Toronto and Vancouver supply retailers and online sellers; ethnic-wear wholesalers buy kurtis and kaftans; uniform suppliers buy workwear and school wear. A mixed first container with two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles is the usual way in, and repeat orders then concentrate on what sells.
