If you are travelling through UK on Pakistani passport, you definitely need UK ATV (airport transit visa) too even if you have onward Canada visa.

It would be cost effective if you take PIA Lahore-Toronto-Edmonton route, I guess.
Toronto-Edmonton would be westjet flight, you should be able to book through PIA.

I did booked Karachi-Toronto-Saskatoon flight least year.

You don't require UK Airport transit visa for London, but for US , you do ...
You’ll need a visa to pass through the UK in transit (unless you’re exempt)

Hi,

I am planning to travel to Montreal via London. However I will taking British Airways to London and Air Canada to Montreal. I have heard that for those having permanent resident visa does not required to have a UK Transit Visa. But as I will be changing airlines, I would need to collect baggage, which required a UK Transit Visa.

Please advise if this is correct.

I am from India.

Yes it may require visa if you need to collect baggage but usually the airline career make arrangements for your final destination baggage pickup. You should speak to your airline about this; baggage collection at transit is not a good option/idea. you better speak to your airline or check other airline options...
Please check the web reference posted earlier...
