Not on Skyservice They Won't

If your daughter has a ticket to Toronto, the airline company will probably honor that ticket and put her on the next flight. (For a fee of course). If the plane is full then she will have priority on the standby list.
Skyservice and Transat charters are strictly "you snooze, you lose" so they could not give a rats rear-end if you arrive on time or not, period. They are not a scheduled carrier and you have no ability to take another flight, whcih run at random times and are actually sold by the tour company not the "airline". They also don't offer "standby", leaving here or POP.
Frankly if you missed the AA flight to MIA they would not honour a ticket that has lapsed for a later flight , though they may take pity , if you miss it and don't call them they just put it down as a no-show. You can at leats call them, pay $100 and change the flight but amazingly enough they actually think the passenger has an obligation to do that BEFORE the flight leaves.
Best bet: Call AA in SDQ (542-5151) or go online to AA.com and buy a one-way ticket to YYZ via MIA. They don't fly to Montreal AFAIK.
OR: see if a round trip coach fare is cheaper, buy that and toss the return ticket. It is possible that the charters will ahve an empty seat but as that other stranded Canadian found out, it can take a while to get a seat.
(You can always check CO and US Air via Newark and Philly for seats, same idea, but I think you wind up in Toronto not Montreal)
Pretty irresponsible missing a flight at all, so it costs what it costs.
