The route could simply takes Piccadilly and then merge onto the corridor itself. They would need BRT bridges over Oxford and to build the BRT roadway beside the rail line but that could easily be done without impacting CP operations.
CP/CN rarely have a problem with other agencies using their corridors as long as it doesn't effect their operations. GO and Vancouver's West Coast Express use their actual train tracks and for that matter so does VIA. I don't think they would have any problem using the corridor because it's wide enough.

You are really over simplifying this. Taking Piccadilly doesn't make sense, it is north of the tracks but the busses would be coming from the south so they would still need to go over the tracks to get there. You are also essentially talking about running a 2 way road beside the tracks since busses need to go in both directions, there isn't space for this because you also need to account for spacing between the tracks and the road which is legally required.
