So in your case, you're still going to have to fly AC across the Pacific as per the fare rules. Depending on how many connections you want and how much trouble you're willing to go through, you'll still have to connect to/from AC via at least one of ICN/HKG/TYO AND YVR/YYZ/YUL.

If it ends up being lower, and your original booking is a nonrefundable fare, you don't get the difference back.
Have always wondered how the "historical and applicable fares in effect at the original ticket date" are calculated for this. Any idea - is there some excel table publicly/privately available?
