Which means that the host spot in pairs would be added if given to let's say, Bombardier -Mimar for instance ???

They have this on the National Team page:

Skate Canada has the discretion to add athletes/teams during the 2023-2024 season

Which probably needs to be updated to reflect that it's this season, but it still applies. I think that TBD will be decided before High Performance Camp, where they take the headshots and give out the jackets for the National Team. It would be a good time to add someone to the National Team.
