I don't know the specifics for your route, but upgrades do often appear 1 week or even 1 day before the travel date.
I can see from your profile your are Skywards Gold, so what could be a better option for you is to contact the Gold Desk as they may have access to Upgrade awards not available on the general system. There is some mention of it on this thread:
