well... so many questions ...

was it a houseplant.. from a florists.. forced into bloom for xmas or easter ...

if so ... it might need a cold period before it blooms again ...

next... many hot house.. forced mums.. simply are not winter hardy ... in the great white north ....

third... we would need an ID of what type of mum... before we could go much further ...

frankly.. your guess is as good as ours.. at this point..

a picture might get us somewhere.. but w/out the flower.. i dont know if ID is possible ... though maybe daughter has a pic of it in bloom.. months ago????

The odds are not good that they will come back next spring. Most of the potted 'mums are not hardy here and are very unlikely to be hardy in Que.! There are some 'old fashioned' hardy mums around but they are rarely the ones you see in stores or garden centers. Check with gardening neighbours to see if they might have them - they tend to be 'pass along' plants that you get from older gardeners - that's how I got mine! Also check with good local nurseries who specialize in plants hardy to your area. There are some good ones there so they might have them.
