I'm surprised it took that long though. Did laws regarding these seizures recently change in Canada?

Yes, in 2022, Canada modified its sanctions legislation, enabling the redistribution of seized and sanctioned foreign assets to provide compensation to victims or contribute to the reconstruction of a war-affected foreign nation.
