For hotels there are 2 websites that can help you find a good price.
http://www.trivago.com/
http://www.hotelscombined.com/

Enter city, dates, number of people and they will give you the prices for any type of accommodation in the city.
You can also narrow your search according to your needs.
Thanx for this info, it's really helpful...

What about flight from lahore to calgary? What are the best options? I heard that it is always better to use direct flight from Pakistan to Canada because transit routes sometimes create visa issues for example in Europe?
I am also from Lahore. Following are options can suit you well.

Lahore-Toronto-Calagry (PIA+Aircanada) cost upto 110,000 oneway per person
Lahore-Doha-Montreal-Calagary (Qatar airways) cost upto 110,000 one way per person

Lahore-Doha-London-Calagary (Qatar airways) cost upto 110,000 one way per person
Lahore-Abudhabi-London-Calagary (Etihad airways+Air canada) cost upto 110,000 one way per person
Lahore-Dubai-London-Calagary (Emirates) cost upto 135,000 one way per person

Lahore-Abudhabi-Toronto-Calagary (Etihad airways+Air canada) cost upto 165,000 one way per person
Lahore-Dubai-Totonto-Calagary (Emirates) cost upto 165,000 one way per person

As per my experience as a frequent flyer i rated high Emirates,Qatar airways & Etihad Airways in all aspect.
