However, I checked the CP website and found the ticket fare is high for that date. Hope less people will buy tickets.

I noticed that someone in this forum was able to find remaining seat info, but I have no clue where to find that info. It's highly appreciated if someone could advise. I am evaluating the situation to decide whether or not to proceed with other alternatives.

Thanks again.
If the fares available for sale are high, that's not a good sign: They've sold out of cheaper fares already, leaving fewer empty seats to be released for awards, and have reason to think they'll still sell other seats at the higher fares. That doesn't mean you wouldn't clear a waitlist, but with no status and a convergence of holidays, I wouldn't plan on it.
