Canada didn’t allow extended family members to enter due to covid until this date.

Yes they allowed extended family members from this date. Its also mentioned in the article that if you are extended family, you do not need a non-optional, non-discretionary reason to travel to Canada.

You are quoting a website that is not affiliated with the government. After they make the statement they go on to describe the process you need to follow to get authorization to enter Canada.

What you posted already requires you to provide proof that you have authorization to travel. The proof of staying over 15 days or for non-discretionary purposes for a very specific category of visits. You are required to remain in Canada for over 15 days but in certain circumstances you can remain for less time. You may be given permission to travel for less than 15 days in certain non-discretionary situations like potentially things like taking the citizenship test, perhaps attending a funeral if you can show that you can't remain for over 15 days, etc. You still had to be granted special authorization to travel first.
