Yes, You can Divorce your husband. I am a Lawyer from Pakistan practicing Family Law. You have to file a suit for dissolution of marriage, on specific matrimonial grounds including (Khulla), in the Family Court of Pakistan. The divorce decree will be sent to the concerned union council for issuance of divorce effectiveness certificate. A divorce decree and certificate issued in Pakistan will be recognized in Canada.
You can read the Canadian Law about Foreign Divorce.
CANADA DIVORCE ACT 1985 Section 22 about Foreign Divorce
Recognition of foreign divorce
22. (1) A divorce granted, on or after the coming into force of this Act, pursuant to a law of a country or subdivision of a country other than Canada by a tribunal or other authority having jurisdiction to do so shall be recognized for all purposes of determining the marital status in Canada of any person, if either former spouse was ordinarily resident in that country or subdivision for at least one year immediately preceding the commencement of proceedings for the divorce.

How Can you get a divorce in the state of Kentucky if your husband lives out of state and refuses to sign divorce papers and says he will never sign the papers?
Answer What I know about divorce papers is that they require two signatures, one from you the other from your husband, and if he doesn't sign the divorce papers, it doesn't matter he is no longer in the State where you live, if he doesn't sign the papers you can't get your divorce. There is also common law marriages where two people can live together for as long as they want and divorced or not, you can still live with another man. There's no law against it.
