You dont need transit visa. For London and Frankfurt, you dont need transit visa

Just only yesterday, I was checking with my travel consultant and he was telling me that if you get flight for Edmonton, it will cost you more.

He advised this route: Karachi - Dubai - London - Toronto
in Dubai, there is 4 hours waiting and in London it was 5 hours approx waiting.
Karachi-Dubai Emirates Airline
Dubai - London British Airways
London - Toronto British Airways or Canada Air

From London, you can get Canada Air for Edmonton
PM me your travelling dates and I can check for the exact ticket price

As I talked to my cousin in edmonton, he is in aview that British Columbia and Ontario are big provinces and economy are based on financial market and if any downfall happen in european or US market job market become worse in these provinces becouse they are dependent on other markets too.

As in Alberta both Calgary and Edmonton are rich in Oil Gas therfore economy in Alberta is sustainable and other country crisis does not effect them. on other hand majority of the immigrants prefer to go to ontario, Toronto or British columbia which also effect the job market for new immigrants.

I think other guys who are in Canada will guide us in better way.
