Go through a travel agent to book your ticket if you can -- it's much cheaper. The direct PIA flight to Toronto is probably best, after which you can take a domestic flight on Air Canada or something to any other city you need to go to. PIA flights to Toronto go every Friday.

Have you got housing at your college/university? If not, it's probably not a bad idea to look at the craigslist for the city you plan to go to and start e-mailing people who have advertised flats/roomshares.

I've gotten bookings on Emirates, Etihad and PIA through a travel agent. Eventually I'll cancel the ones that I don't need.

I've taken direct PIA flights to London -- they were pretty good. The best thing about PIA is the amount of luggage they let you take. If memory serves me right, you can check in 2 pieces, 26 kg each, at no extra cost. But you should call PIA to double-check this. My experience with them has been that they do let you take a lot of luggage.
