What issues, constraints etc are there with originating in YUL or YYZ and then connecting w JL in ORD to NRT?
I could also fly from YUL to NY or BOS and then to NRT or HKG on JL or CX?
Can I ticket an itinerary online or w AA RTW that originates in Canada? Can I Ticket it now ex_YUL and then fly to Canada in 4 months and originate there?
You shouldn't have difficulties originating in Canada and connecting through the USA to Asia. You're only allowed two stopovers in the continent of origin so bear that in mind when contemplating an itinerary. Note that CX flies nonstop from YYZ to HKG, although I don't know if they have first class on that route. They do from YVR to HKG.
Try using the online tool at
https://rtw.oneworld.com/rtw/ which hopefully will get you to the payment screens so you can finalize ticketing online. Note this tool is horribly buggy so don't get your hopes up.
If that doesn't work, come back here for troubleshooting and help with work-arounds.
