On Jan 3rd 2017 the Canadian TSB reported the separation between the two aircraft reduced to 400 feet vertical and 1nm horizontally.
On Jan 10th 2017 the Canadian TSB released a significant update stating, that AC-467 was on a heading of 150 degrees and was instructed by ATC to turn right to a heading of 040 degrees and intercept the localizer runway 05. The crew read the clearance back correctly, however, initiated the turn to the left instead of right. Just when AC-727 inquired when they would receive their turn to intercept the localizer, both aircraft received a TCAS resolution advisory. The separation between the aircraft reduced to 400 feet vertically and 1nm horizontally before ATC and flight crew were able to correct the situation. The TSB wrote: "The clearance issued to ACA467 may have been intended for ACA727."
