This will be a very long day for me as I'll have another 8 hours of journey left upon arrival to Toronto so getting some daylight is quite essential to soften the jetlag. If there's a very high chance that the cabin will be forced dark, I'll look into rebooking on some other metal.

Thank you
Yup, you will experience this. I would change to 777 if possible. I had a Transpac flight to HND where the windows were locked until 30 minutes before landing. I requested to unlock at least pre-landing meal ( 1 hr & 1/2 before landing) and was denied. Most flights they will lock it to the third level and below.
