YES Montreal (Youth Employment Services) offers courses telling you how to set up your own business. They have really good resource people there too. I went to the small business classes and it's very much oriented to opening up a shop-type store, not so much focussed on freelancers, but I did learn a lot.
They also sell a guide to help you set up your business plan and have people who will work with you to make the plan solid.

The YES guide is great, and I came across a copy at the Bibliotheque National. Its called:
"Montreal Entrepreneurs Guidebook"
There are also a bunch of books at the Bibliotheque that deal with writing business plans and applying for grants and so on.

Check with them ASAP. They offer lots of seminars, especially in the Fall; but those tend to fill up quickly.
Note also that they often aren't free -- there may be a minimal ($10, say) charge.
