I'm not surprised you didn't find the article up on the Globe and Mail website, but my friend would not lie about the article she read about the director confirming it. After all she has the paper.
TIFF also does some updates on Thursdays, so its still possible then if not it'll be on the 20th.

It's also possible that the Rome International Film Festival stated it as a "world premiere" because it has not been confirmed by TIFF yet. We will see though.
