Hey, you know your clubs... I'm really impressed! There are so many people who live here that don't even know where Boa is! hehehee 
Boa-Redux, System Soundbar & Footwork are the usual places... I'm not a big fan of The Guv cause they tend to overpack their venues, but I go there every so often because they bring in the big names. Just this past w/e Hernan Cattaneo & Paul Oakenfold were at the Guv... amazing music, but no space to dance & it was terribly hot... sort of beats the whole point of going! 
Boa-Redux is currently in the process of moving locations... they closed their doors on Spadina in August & expect to reopen at a new location in early November. I really hope they do because Toronto's underground scene is hurting without Boa... it was Toronto's equivalent to Stereo.
As for Montreal, I agree with you 110%. Stereo & Circus are by far my favorite clubs in Montreal... I like Aria too, but it's a bit like The Guv (ie. overpacked & young). It's too bad Sona closed because that was a great place too. I try to get over to Montreal every couple of months to party... it's well worth the 5 hour drive. They really do put Toronto to shame & I'm the first to admit it... where the parties finish at 10:00 a.m. in Toronto, they go on well into the afternoon in Montreal. Not to mention that the crowds are fantastic & they can rip it up on the dancefloor better than anyone I've ever seen!
Just this year I've partied in Toronto, Montreal, New York and Ibiza and I would have to say that Ibiza & Montreal are neck-to-neck as far as the quality... the only advantage Ibiza has is that the parties go on 24/7 whereas Montreal the crowds are much friendlier.
So... how does the scene in Paris compare to Toronto/Montreal? Are the people interactive? Is there a dress code or are running shoes allowed like in Canada?
