If you applied before September 5, 2017 and your application is still pending, your application will still be considered for approval.

damn. Well I know I'm not cancelling my card then for churning, thank god.
Any idea on if the card will be phased out completely in 1-5 years down the line or just no more new applications taken? Will we still continue to get the yearly certificate? After we suddenly lost the IHG card and I missed to get/keep it, this is a second blow to hotel cards in canada in a short amount of time.
