As of late 2022, HKG was on the list of approved origins for ITD OSS at YVR, if connecting AC to AC. Standard MCT for I-D connections on AC metal at YVR is 1:10, which includes both OSS and non-OSS origins. So I wouldn't read too much in to that. But there's a good chance you'll have OSS, and even if you don't, your bags should at least be checked through, and if you end up missing your connection, there are lots of other flights to YYZ.
