Edit:
It looks like it is not:
Advance standard seat selection charges are non refundable,
except if:
- you are moved to a seat different than the one you selected due to an involuntary schedule or airport change (e.g. flight disruption, cancellation). If you are moved from your seat for one of these reasons, you may request a refundfor your seat charges.
- you decide not to travel on your selected itinerary and you paid for advance standard seat selection. The value of your advance standard seat selection charge will be retained and can be applied towards seat selection on a future Air Canada itinerary.
Not that I've eUp'ed a flight this year, but whenever I have it's always been immediately and automatic. I get two emails at the same time - upgrade approved and seat selection refunded. Seen similar reports here before as well, for all types of upgrades.
It's one of the few things AC IT is excellent at.
