As far as I know, AC generally does not SM/SC to the highest status level (Super Elite 100K) even though you hold top tier status with another airline, just like how UA/DL/AA generally do not SM/SC to their highest status level except in very rare cases.

given this is mostly dead but seems to be the most active thread... have there been any updates to this? Anyone status matched recently, successfully?
If you status matched, did you get the all benefits (incl. eUPs) or not?

Does AC provide status matching or challenges?
After an international stint, returning to Canada in December. I will have no valid status for a while.
I have OW Sapphire right now, I can't find any current info on AC challenge or matching, does such program exist? The only webpage I found was dated 2014.
I was hoping that WS will be part of OW by now, no such luck.

Air Canada Altitude 90 day challenge.
And also I learned that if you've had AC Status before, you're not eligible for Status challenge.. I emailed the email above and here's their response:
Hello,
The status challenge is for customers that hold a top tier status with other airlines and have never held an Altitude status with Air Canada. Seeing that Mr. whatchamackallit03 was Prestige 25K in 2015, he is not eligible for the Status Challenge.
