Return flights from Montréal will run overnight on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Passengers can expect a seven-hour journey between the Scottish capital and Québec's largest city.
This seasonal service adds to Air Canada's existing flight programme between Edinburgh and Toronto.
The plane features 16 premium economy seats and 153 economy seats, offering passengers different travel options.
Air Canada's senior director of sales EMEAI Margaret Skinner said: "With just days to go until the start of the summer season, we are extremely excited to be announcing another new transatlantic route from the UK to our home hub, Montréal.
"Edinburgh has always been an important market for Air Canada, thanks to strong business, tourism, and cultural ties between Scotland and Canada.
"We are proud to be expanding our presence in the market by adding a second route for 2025."
