It’s like there are no flights to kelowna from Spain or Italy on same day I see lots of first leg lufhansa ( eg madrid- Munich-Toronto-kelowna) cash but agent would not book me on this flight with points
The bolded part above is your sticking point. Even with the schedule change, to rebook onto any non-AC-operated flight, there must be award availability, not cash/revenue availability. On AC-operated flights (e.g., MAD-YUL-YVR-YLW), they can force open award space even if there isn't any, so that might be your best bet. Otherwise, you can search for LH and other *A award availability to any airport with AC service (e.g., MAD-FRA) and then find any AC-operated routing home from there (e.g., FRA-YVR-YLW).
