The question I have is: Should I wait for the blocked seats to open up until a few days before the flight or is it completely hopeless and I should make alternative plans?
Thanks.

Alternative plans is suggested.

Like most airlines, EK uses "inventory control" to restrict number of seats that it can sell/offer to certain region/countries. So if you're seeing KHI DXB CAN as a married segment showing all 0, and your travel date is within a week, time to move on for alternative plan. (What you could do is book KHI DXB and DXB CAN separately on the website but there will be risks involved and price may be high)
