Pulled up on ITA for $3,619 (USD)
SYD-YVR-LAX-BOS-YUL-YYZ-SCL-EZE.
Looking at over 35,000 or so miles if crediting to BD or LH, or double that if you're over 55k with BD...
JFK gets you in J on a p.s. segment, BOS lets you book into F (300%)...

Note the SYD-YVR portion is on AC's virtually brand new 777's with the pod-type of biz seating, which BTW AC calls Executive First and is a hybrid between true first class and business, or that's the spin.

To book this on AirCanada.ca - don't book any stopovers, then call and add them later. (unlimited free stopovers)

i think there is a HIP that would reprice the ticket using the highest intermediate point, making the fare less interesting in case of stopovers, like for the EWR-MEX via SCL EZE etc. in the other thread.

No problem having a 2 week stopover. Apparently all International tickets allow stopovers, I think all fares M and higher allow -free- ones.I guess this doesn't seem that amazing without the context that regularly it's a $12k fare YYZ-SYD/SYD-YYZ alone
$4,500 for M upgradeable, but round-trip it's only $7,500 and a free trip to Brazil! Also if you book one-way, the M fare GRU-YYZ is only $800.

it depends on where you stop over. Since there is no AC fare SYD SCL, it cannot be higher than the SYD EZE => you can stopover in SCL without additional cost because the HIP cannot be calulated. But if you want to stop in YVR for example for a few days, this will add around 7000 USD to the fare since the SYD YVR and the YVR EZE are more expensive than the through fare that allow stopovers indeed, but does not void the HIP calculation.

Once you get to SCL or GRU or wherever, you can also book SCL/GRU-YYZ(stop)-HKG(stop)-YYZ(stop)-SCL/GRU again for 'only' $6k vs. $10k or so for YYZ-HKG... or LHR for only $4k~
