You can apply for your Canadian Citizenship and will not lose the British citizenship.  I do not know for sure about the Pakistan rules.
However, if Pakistan recognized your British citizenship and gave you the Pakistan passport, it is only logical that you can keep it with Canadian citizenship. In one case I found a Pakistani lost his Pakistani citizenship when taking out US citizenship.  You can find out more about that at:

However, to be sure, check with a Pakistan Consulate.
