I used a travel agent to book three flights in the first three weeks of September, so that I can take the first available flight once the Study Permit is stamped, Inshallah. I think you're from Karachi, right? I don't know about travel agents in Karachi. You can book flights online but you get a lot more flexibility with a travel agent as they can cancel bookings that you can't take (for instance, if the visa is delayed or something). It's also just a lot easier to not have to deal with the hassle of booking flights and cancelling flights.

I'm taking a direct PIA flight to Toronto, and once it's clear which flight I'll be taking (based on when the visa comes in), I'll buy a ticket online for a domestic flight from Toronto to Vancouver on West Jet or Air Canada (probably West Jet, since it's cheaper).

Umair, there's no PIA flight on the 13th ... the direct flight to Toronto goes every Friday. I booked for the 2nd, 9th and 16th. Use a travel agent ... often you can get a last-minute booking because somebody cancels their flight. Cost is something like 70,000-90,000 PKR depending on how late you are.

West Jet tickets from Toronto to Vancouver are something like CDN $300-$400 depending on how early you book.
