Old GPA but not "mature"

Hi, I was the person who posted on this forum that Ottawa counts any full-time post-secondary studies within 5 years as being ineligible for "mature applicant" status, which is different than most other schools.

I finished my undergrad about 20 years ago and have worked since then.  However, I completed a post-bac certificate about 2 years ago, making me ineligible as a mature applicant.  My undergrad GPA wasn't great (not awful, just not close to what General applicants need) but they won't include my certificate grades.  

So, even though I'm technically a General applicant, does anyone know whether my GPA would be considered more through the lens of a mature applicant?

I thought Ottawa had a looser definition of mature than other schools. I was eligible for mature at Ottawa before Western. I hope you applied as Mature, I am almost positive you qualify.
