He was born in Saint-Hermas, Quebec, the son of Isidore Fortier and Elmire Lalande, and was educated at the Séminaire de Sainte-Thérèse and the Université Laval. Fortier articled with Dandurand et Brodeur, was called to the Quebec bar in 1899 and set up practise in Hull with Charles Beautron Major. He married his partner's daughter Anne-Marie Major in 1901.
