Very different in mtl. No Body Rub or Holistic licenses. Basically, everything is a bit of a gamble. However, as long as the spa stays out of trouble on these issues, they are very safe.
1) No underage girls or clients.
2) No illegal immigrants.
3) No drugs or related activities.
4) No complaints from neighbours.
If a place flies under the radar on these things in Mtl, they are safe.
In all my years of hobbying there, I only heard of one raid and it was years ago and the place had all kinds of reasons to be targetted.
Good news, a couple of the girls from Maison Massage asked me if I thought it would be worth their time to bring their nuru skills to TO for a few days or so.
Based on the posts in this thread, I've encouraged them to do just that.
