Given YYC has already broken its 2019 record, I don't see a point in comparing those numbers anymore.

ADM have published Jan and Feb 2024 numbers, and revised their 2023 total.

If they can maintain a 13% increase, YUL will finish the year with just shy of 24 million passengers.
They have also revised their 2023 total to 21,173,941, up almost 30,000 passengers from what they initially announced for 2023.
They seem to do a correction like this every year, although often resulting in a minor difference. This time, it's quite significant.
Edit: I'll also add that with the recent addition of Avianca El Salvador to YUL's roster, the number of foreign carriers at the airport this summer will be 26. Not that long ago, that number was only in the high teens. Considering how dominant AC has become at YUL on the international scene, I'd say managing to attract 26 foreign carriers is impressive. Unfortunately, all of this means YUL will be an even bigger shit show this summer. ADM has some mitigating procedures in place for landside access and passenger drop-off this summer, but I don't think it will cut it. Until the REM is operational, the situation will only get worse before it gets better.
