Calvillo finished 26-of-36 for 326 yards with a pair of scoring passes and one interception to help Montreal (3-3) snap a three-game losing streak.
Avon Cobourne rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown and Damon Duval booted five field goals, including a pair from 50 and 51 yards, to send Hamilton (1-5) to its fourth consecutive defeat.
Calvillo connected with Kerry Watkins on a 30-yard scoring pass early in the second quarter to reach the 300 milestone, joining Damon Allen, Ron Lancaster and Matt Dunigan as the only quarterbacks in league history to achieve that feat.
On the opening play from scrimmage in the second half, Calvillo hooked up with Jamel Richardson on an 81-yard scoring pass to give the Alouettes a 21-11 lead.
Tigers-Cats quarterback Richie Williams, subbing for an injured Casey Printers, rushed for a pair of touchdowns but threw two interceptions. He was 18-of-24 for 260 yards.
