THE WEBSITE INDICATES A CLOSING TIME OF MIDNIGHT WHICH IS WRONG.
THIS WIKI REMAINS CORRECT.

The access privileges for the credit cards are detailed in the links on the AC Café page to the individual cards (per bank partner)
CIBC had the most organized T&C. For e.g..
See sections for Maple Leaf Lounge Passes and Maple leaf Lounge Access https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...enefits.html#/
AMEX and TD are just too long to read through.

I think you probably already read this SE Benefits' page, but to me it does not answer the question for the AC Café specifically

Nice to see the auto gates at the Cafe.

Yes, that's exactly it, I had the little MLL chair symbol on my boarding pass that I printed at home. It's a great detail. Boarding passes that I print at the airport would normally just have "Lounge Invitation" printed on it.

Wholeheartedly agree 👍
Finally got into the Cafe for the first time yesterday, had either forgotten about the Cafe before or was closed earlier to the pandemic.
My first reaction was, what am I doing upstairs 🤦
Boozes ❌
Inedible Hot Food, oh please 🙄
Not sure if its the decor of the place, or most folks don't know about the cafe, or other unknown reasons; but the crowd that were inside were much better behaved than upstairs.
Finally, a place of "Peace and Tranquility" at YYZ 🙂
Hopefully someone else will have another datapoint.
Lounge agent said cafe closes at 19:00, the sign outside still says 18:30.
And apologies to the cow 🙇, I completely forgot to ask the lounge agent about guess access rules.
Just adding some of my photos here into the thread collection.
24left, the club manager must have took your comment to heart.
They had a couple "special items" for Valentines Day 💖
Valentines Theme Pastry
Menu Saint-Valentin 😉
Why is the company concocting a Love Potion 😆😆
Happy Valentines from Air Canada 🥰
Air Canada's Love Potion 😉
When's the next "special theme" day? St. Patricks?

It's a very nice lounge! Much better than the domestic lounge with the world's slowest elevators.

Oh alas! Had to leave to get through TB, and my flight is now delayed because the gate is frozen and they can't attach it to the plane.
Also I checked the guest rules - it's a single guest whether you are E50 or SE. No family.

Everyone was booted out at 18:30 during my most recent visit.

Thanks yyznomad, I casually asked that question to the agent at the turnstiles (as I was taking that photo) and I didn't feel confident in her answer 🙂
