A Jazz Embraer ERJ-175 on behalf of Air Canada, registration C-FEJP performing flight AC-8554 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to New York JFK,NY (USA), was on final approach to runway 31R, when AA-4464 overshot the extended centerline and descended through their altitude.
The separation between the aircraft reduced to 0 feet vertical at about 1nm horizontal and 200 feet vertical at 0.7nm horizontal.
Upon realizing the conflict ATC attempted to send AC-8554 up to 3000 feet, both aircraft received TCAS resolution advisories, which were followed, both aircraft went around, repositioned for another approach and landed safely in parallel on runways 31L and 31R about 12 minutes later.
The FAA is investigating the occurrence.
