I've found they care more about the cost of the ticket. If your YYZ-BOS-YYZ ticket is under the 15k dollar amount ceiling ($350 I think?), they are as likely as not to book it for you.

I redeemed some Avion points to go to PHL last year thinking I'd have to cough up 30k, but they gave them to me for 15k.

Maybe it was just the agent. YMMV.
