This is what the Air Canada site says about the program. It says you have to book by October 31, 2015 to get the offer.

A few months ago a dedicated train service from Pearson airport to downtown Toronto began and this has greatly improved access to the city. And also reduced the cost of reaching downtown dramatically. http://www.metrolinx.com/en/pr…press/upexpress.aspx
