YYC-LHR earned me 4359 on AC, so will take you to 15964 if you're earning at the same x1.0 rate .

Presumably you mean Silver benefits here. I'm not sure there are any on AC itself: just about the only benefit for *S is from the 'home' programme's lounges.

If you mean the bonus destiation miles then you'll have to wait a bit longer to get them , but its only 1000 or so which you can buy if it was make or break for a redemption.
