If by Correspondance A40 you mean Cote-de-Liesse station (ie, the station that the REM and Mascouche Lines will interchange at), it has a name: Cote-de-Liesse. It was only ever called Correspondance A40 during early planning when all they had was a rough alignment.
Cote-de-Liesse? That seems to be a poor choice to me. think in the mind of most Montrealers, Cote-de-Liesse runs from Dorval to Decarie. Most think of that section of "Cote-de-Liesse" as the A40 sliproad.

But perhaps the biggest issue, is that the station is over a half-kilometre to Cote-de-Liesse! That makes the Greenwood station name almost seem reasonable.

Though looking on the map - it's hard to see a decent name. Partially because there doesn't seem to be any vehicular access to the station (though I suppose extending Canora Road is a possibility). It's like the old York University GO station, stuck behind industrial buildings - hopefully there'll be a pedestrian pathway.

It doesn't look like a likely place to see a TOD. Obviously it wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the Repentigny commuter train. I think they'd have been better served to move the half-kilometre to the south - though that's a challenging spot with Cote-de-Liesse dead-ending at the tracks on both sides - similar to the old SRT stations at Lawrence East and and Ellesmere.
