But it did not work in December, 2019 or in January, 2020. For both those AP flights in Air Canada I obtained Zone 4 boarding.

Someone else just posted on a other thread that they had the same issue a few days ago.

Is the end of priority boarding when using the CIBC Aerogold card for an AP ticket now a benefit which no longer applies?

Likely as issue with the Amadeus migration. I have the privilege version of the card so I get zone 2 on all bookings; haven't flown AC since the migration but will be doing so early next month, if zone 2 doesn't automatically show up I'll raise it at check-in.
This really smells like an Amadeus issue for sure... seeing all the other threads with people about to be deported and all.
