I was accepted off the first round of offers (deposit paid and processed) and did not receive that email, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I was on the phone with the admissions office about this earlier this week, as my PhD will not be defended prior to September. UofA seems to be very flexible about this and said if I wanted to defer I could, or I could just defend in the fall. I'm not sure if the answer would be different for a MSc. I recommend just calling the office and asking about your specific situation- they're very helpful!

I can see Queen's; I hope this isn't a glitch.
