There are lots of flights into Dubrovnik on Star Alliance carriers, as Dubrovnik is a hub for member Croatia Airlines (which is perfectly fine to fly). In addition, there are flights on Austrian, Lufthansa, and SAS. Add in that Air Canada is a Star Alliance member and I'd imagine you will find a ton of options. There is nothing to/from Tivat, though. But thats an easy ground trip.
The routing would work similar to the Delta routing (cant fly into London out of Paris or v.v.)
YYZ-London or Paris, London or Paris to Dubrovnik (nonstop from Paris or connecting from London); Dubrovnik to Toronto (likely via Munich/Frankfurt or Vienna).
I just looked on United.com, and there are plenty of dates with wide availability going from YYZ to DBV and vice versa, as well as YYZ to Paris and London. The trip would be 60,000 roundtrip.
Note many of the flights to the Adriatic are seasonal and may not be loaded into the system yet or available exactly when you want them.
Good luck.
I agree, I went JFK-FRA-ZAG (spent 3 nighst) then to DBV-(Destination) -FRA-LHR-JFK (the LHR-JFK was on VS when it was a partner with CO/UA)
The only problem with Crotian air is they have but a handful of A-319s = my friends who went FRA-DBV had an 8 hr wait till a plane arrived. Crotian is mainly puddle jumpers, and they can sub them with no probs unlike the 319s. So a way around that is to stick with LH where if theres a problem they can simply roll out another plane , or make sure you arent far from DBV so that you know it will be a puddle jumper
I would look at YYZ-LHR then train it to Paris and Paris-FRA-DBV, just keep in mind OP every airport you hit in Europe will charge you for Departure taxes so you want to keep it to a bare min
