ATC had advised the crew of the Embraer of wake turbulence.
Radar data identify WS-367 was flown by a Boeing 737-700 registration C-FWSK.
NAV Canada reported providing proper timestamps that AC-555 encountered wake turbulence while trailing the Westjet Boeing 737 WS-367 about 3.8nm behind and 1000 feet above.
