I'm planning a trip to Porto, Portugal (from YYZ) in January and my best options for both itinerary and price (by far on price) are via TAP. However, I can’t get this option to come up on Air Canada’s website.

Is the below itinerary eligible for 014 ticket stock to receive SQD? AC options on their own metal are close to double the price. I’d be grateful for any guidance.

Unfortunately it isn't. If you go to the fare rules, you will see the following:

THE FARE COMPONENT MUST BE ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY TP FLIGHT OPERATED BY TP
ANY TP FLIGHT OPERATED BY NI
ANY TP FLIGHT OPERATED BY WI.

This is a TP specific fare only and is not eliglible for any SQD. Generally speaking, for long-haul itineraries AC requires an AC flight number on one of the long-haul segments in order to have the ticket issued on their stock and they do not codeshare with TP on flights to Portugal (and even if they were, this fare requires TP/NI/WI operating metal).
