Is this a big deal for the Mexican teams? ie Are they playing with their A-Teams?
The rankings for the tournament are based on league performance from the year prior. MLS is ranked above NASL. So the standings are:

1. Toronto (16th in MLS)
2. Vancouver (18th in MLS)
3. Edmonton (5th in NASL)
4. Montreal (7th in NASL)

The optics of having the 3rd worst team in MLS make the CCL quarterfinals seems bad, but Canada has to be represented in the tournament.
