It is located in the Glenmount neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, just east of the Town of Mount Royal.

The station is located at 7300 Canora Road, immediately northwest of Jean Talon Street.

At the reopening, the station was renamed Canora, a portmanteau of CAnadian NOrthern RAilway, in tribute to the line's founder.

Since opening, the station has been valued by the residents of not only the town of Mont-Royal, but also by those of the Côte-des-Neiges borough, for its fast connection with downtown via the tunnel.

As part of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) project to convert the Deux-Montagnes line to rapid-transit operation, a connecting station was to be built on the Saint-Jérôme line adjacent to Canora across Rue Jean-Talon.
