Unfortunately the fastest passenger train currently available on the planet would still take roughly 6 hours to get from Montreal to Vancouver in basically a straight line so probably double or even triple that for a more realistic number with all the corners and ups and downs. We probably won't be making the fastest train on earth so it would likely still be a 20+ ride from Montreal to Vancouver in the best case scenario.

It would be a very comfortable ride though. It's already more comforable than airplanes, and I was stuck behind freight trains most of the way.
