YMQ is a catchall for the airports in the Montreal metro area (similarly, LON is used for London, TYO for Tokyo, NYC for New York, etc.).
YUL is the main international airport (Pierre Eliott Trudeau)
YMX is Mirabel airport (cargo only right now, as far as I know)
YHU is Saint-Hubert, used for smaller planes on shorter routes from within the province of Quebec primarily
In a flight search engine, YMQ will almost certainly give you flights to YUL alone (assuming you are coming from outside of Quebec).

@DavidRicherby Where it gets tricky is that IATA city codes do not necessarily correspond to GDS or airline usage for all purposes. For example, the IATA city code NYC appears to include JFK, LGA, EWR, SWF, and QNY (the seaplane port), but not ZYP, HPN, TEB, or ISP—all closer to the city than SWF. In turn, it at least used to be the case that United treated JFK and LGA as the same city for fare rules, but EWR was different, likewise DCA/IAD vs. BWI.

@choster Well, you might start caring which airport you use if the fares are significantly different, but fares can be significantly different to the same airport. The SWF (Stewart International Airport, about 60 miles north of Manhattan) thing is weird but it's still going to be faster to search for "NYC" and ignore flights to Stewart and any other outliers than it is to search separately for JFK, La Guardia and Newark.
