Don't know of any in the Toronto area, but most Service Bureaus have "global" clients, and experienced designers are quite adept at asking the important questions. And most have Autocad or CadKey to help resolve mechanical issues.
Schematic compatibility isn't necessarily an issue; unless a schematic is _heavily annotated, a Tango-format netlist usually suffices for PCB input data, along with the necessary mechanical and electrical requirements. But ask for references!
