Mexico recently regained CAT 1 status from the FAA, enabling once again Mexican airlines to start new US routes, and they are busy doing just that.

It will be extremely unlikely - in the short to medium term - to see a Mexican carrier starting a new route to Canada, especially from anywhere other than MEX (or NLU).
I can confirm the interest was there from a certain Mexican carrier to launch service to YUL from an unserved destination, but this was all before the FAA gave back CAT 1 status to Mexico. Different priorities now for these airlines. They were unable to add service to a major market for more than 2 years. They need to catch up with that first.
Best bet for service to places like MTY or GDL in the short/medium term is a Canadian carrier. Once YVR starts getting AC A220s based there, there is potential for routes like these.
