The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Lester B. Pearson International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Air Transat must pay you 600€.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dublin Airport without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 600€ payout.
