Scratch these two. Qatar only serves YUL and Transaero ending service in December. That's still an impressive list of 30!
YYZ 30
YVR 22 (subject to Hainan and Xiamen confirming of course).
YUL 15
YYC 4
YHZ 3
YEG 2
Re: Doha, right you are, must have carried it over from YUL.
Didn't know about Transaero, that's kinda surprising it's getting dropped, there are a decent amount of wealthy Russians in Toronto, I figured it was a decent route.
One interesting thing I noted while doing this list, we don't have any summer 767s anymore except Rouge and those rickety old beasts WestJet just bought. The year of the Dreamliner really played out!
I'd imagine we still see the odd 767 during the winter, but I can't think of who still sends them.

Transaero had gone bankrupt and will cease all service in December.
Still, YVR punches above its weight, no question about that.
I'm not sure how you count 17 when LeftCoaster's list clearly displays 23 non-Canadian carriers...remember, it's a list for next summer, so it includes seasonal.

I only did international (non-U.S.) carriers.
If you include U.S. then YYZ would be at 35 (removing Transaero and adding WOW) and YVR would be up to 24 if you include Xiamen, Hainan, and National.
Still, YVR punches above its weight, no question about that.
That list is missing:
-Qantas
-Hainan
-Xiamen
-Condor
-Aeromexico
So that would take YVR from your 17 up to 21, or 22 if you include Aeromexico.
Here's the full list, stars denote seasonal only service.
1 Lufthansa
2 KLM
3 Edelweiss*
4 China Airlines

According to this YVR has:
Air China, Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines, ANA, China Airlines, China Southern, Edelweiss Air, Qantas; /- that YYZ does not.
So a total of 10... sticking with the non North American path.
*****
Also... let's keep going with this....
Just down the road at Sea-Tac... they have a total of ten overseas carriers.
Of the ten, eight also fly to YVR (assuming Hainan does launch YVR as well).
Only Emirates and Asiana fly to SEA and not YVR.
YVR is also on Asiana's radar too.
Asiana would be good, I suppose. We don't really need Emirates; it's DIRECTLY over the pole longitudinally, and not really convenient anywhere from YVR.
Istanbul (Turkish) would be a good one to have for all our Mideast /Balkan / Eastern Mediterranean needs.
As to not needing Emirates, I agree as it allows more airlines to come here. Due to DBX having connections to every major hub, it will steal traffic from BA and may result in BA pulling their A380 But if they decide to bring an A380 of their own, I wouldn't complain. But that is highly doubtful.
As far as I'm concerned, all these Chinese airlines (flying to YVR) are one and the same. All government owned anyways except for HU (which doesn't fly to YVR). Competition in China is a myth.
BTW, adding airlines only rumored to start a route to these lists is pretty nonsensical. How about we stick to confirmed routes (with official launch dates), to paint an accurate picture.
