Is what true?
That it's the CCA mechanic? Yes, that's true.
That it's being used in Canada? Maybe -- I would tend to give the OP the benefit of the doubt on this.
That it only applies with R2 or R2,R3? That's not true, at least not for CCA.
Yes, it requires umpres to be alert and react quickly. Note that the mechanic does not apply on "trouble balls" where the outfielder is coming in to get a low line-drive. Only on fly balls with converging fielders and balls that threaten the fence. That gives all the umpre more time to react and move.
