I can assure you that they are well trained, the Marshals for the F1 race in Montreal come from all over Canada and the US
I too can vouch for this - the marshal's are likely some of the most highly trained on the calendar outside of Europe (and even then, it's hit & miss). To be accepted as a marshal for the Montreal GP, you need to send in a resume of your marshaling experience - and you had better have some good credits on there. With only two F1 races in North America, you're being selected from a huge pool of applicants - only the *best of the best* are going to be getting in.
The people I know who have volunteered there before all had years of experience working races for IRL, ALMS, Grand Am, SCCA and many other "lesser" rungs on the ladder. These guys literally have hundreds of days experience before they arrive, as they are working a race somewhere in the country nearly every weekend all summer long.
