I don't know which pollsters they are going to use. You can find all the recent requirements and rules that changed here (and the explanation why they changed them):
(iii): five days after the date the general election is called, the party receives a level of national support of at least 4%, determined by voting intention, and as measured by leading national public opinion polling organizations, using the average of those organizations’ most recently publicly-reported results.
With regards to criteria (iii), the Commission will select public opinion polls based on the quality of the methodology employed, the reputation of the polling organizations, and the frequency and timeliness of the polling conducted. The Commission may take professional advice to assist in selecting the leading national public opinion polls to be used in applying the criterion and will identify the selected polling organizations at the time the criterion is applied.

So, probably the ones cited by 338, CBC poll tracker etc.
I can't figure out if that clause is meant to get Max in or keep him out. My guess would be to get Max in, since that hurts the CPC.
Edit: I hope he gets locked out, if for no other reason than I can get some more mileage out of this meme (at the time of original posting he was not invited to the debates).
We already talked about it. The old rules stated that parties had to meet two requirements out of the three. It was impossible for the PPC and Bernier to achieve that.
Second poll showing the PPC over 4%. Seems like it's a given that Bernier will be attending the Leaders' debates.
338's aggregate still has them at 2.5%. How do they go about choosing which number to use?

Bernier can't meet the other two requirements, but he doesn't have to. Only one of them has to be met.
What I mean is, which public opinion polls? Is breaking 4% in just one poll enough? Or does he have to exceed 4% in every poll? Or is it an average?
