An AI Receptionist for Montreal Small Businesses

The median receptionist wage in Job Bank's Montréal Region is $20 CAD an hour (Government of Canada Job Bank, reference period 2023-2024), or about $41,600 CAD a year at 40 hours a week. Voksha's Starter plan is $14 a month ($168 a year) with 15 calls included, and Premium, which adds appointment booking, is $99 a month ($1,188 a year) with 150 calls included; extra calls are $1 each. Voksha's prices are in US dollars. Voksha answers the phone; it doesn't greet walk-in visitors or do other front-desk work, so many Montreal businesses use it to cover calls rather than to replace a person.

Yes. Voksha works with any business number you can forward, including Montreal numbers in the 514, 263 and 438 area codes. You keep your number and forward calls to Voksha, and you can be live in under 5 minutes.

Yes. In Voksha's call data, 32% of calls to small businesses arrive outside weekday 9 to 5 and 23% arrive on weekends (After-Hours Economy report). For a Montreal business that means calls before 9 am or after 5 pm Eastern Time (America/Toronto), plus weekends and holidays. Voksha answers all of them, takes the caller's details and sends you a summary. On Premium, after-hours emergency routing can send urgent calls to you.

Canada's Criminal Code (section 184(2)(a)) makes recording a call lawful when one person on the call consents, and that federal rule applies in Quebec. Privacy law adds a business duty: under Quebec's private-sector privacy law, as updated by Law 25, a business should tell callers that the call is recorded and why. This is general information, not legal advice.

Voksha is PIPEDA compliant and Quebec Law 25 compliant, and Canadian business data can be stored in Canadian data centers. In Quebec, private businesses follow Quebec's private-sector privacy law, as updated by Law 25. Every plan is also SOC 2 compliant and ISO 27001 compliant, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
