They have been billing it as a Sit Down production, but I'm sure there will be a North American Tour. It will be interesting to see how long it's return engagement to Toronto is.
It doesn't say when it's playing, just that it's part of the next season. But I could definitely see them using the Toronto production to launch the tour.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
It does appear to be an open run in Toronto. Maybe have it run for 6-9 months then launch the tour?

"Wonder if they will try to get Louise Pitre for the Bev Bass role"
They announced the cast a while ago, and they are all listed at Tag's link. If i recall the newsletter correctly, I think Lisa Horner is the one playing Bev and others.
Regarding length of the open-ended run, it is playing in the same (small-ish) theatre where Kinky Boots did their sit-down with the Canadian cast, and that run lasted about a year (11 months, maybe?).
I'd be quite surprised if Come From Away didn't last significantly longer than that. It sold out its first subscription run a lot faster (before lots of subscribers even saw it for the first time), so there were lots of subscribers who saw it on subscription, wanted to go back and see it again and/or bring their friends, but couldn't because there were no more tickets for the entire run. I went back to KB a few more times, each with different groups of friends who wanted to see it, and it was never hard to get tickets. CFA was in such demand that they offered SRO for the first time that i heard about in 11 years of living in Toronto. So i'd predict at least a 2-year run, maybe even 3 or 4, but then again, "prediction is hard, especially about the future" (Yogi Berra or Neils Bohr; i've heard both attributions in different sources).
