At this point, it's certainly feasible.
We're so late in the lease renewal season that landlords are generally kinda starting to worry that they've "missed the boat" for the year on their non-renewed-but-still-not-leased-to-someone-else units. Most will be delighted to have someone show up for August!
That might not be as 100% true in downtown Montreal as it is in my home market (I happen to be the landlord to a bunch of downtown Sherbrooke buildings) but I'm pretty confident it's still true. In my case on the few units I still have left I'd be very glad to sign someone up for August.
One thing is for sure, you should DEFINITELY try, with ANY apartment that you find that is currently still available for July 1st, to say "well, I only need it starting in August..."
At this time of year, landlords of yet-unrented-for-July-1st units are going to be pretty flexible, that's all but guaranteed.
