Granted, Emirates is seemingly trying to take over the world (look no further than the insanely huge A380 order you mention) so I'm sure they're constantly monitoring every possible destination, but they way they currently operate, YYC wouldn't make sense.
Not sure if the route would be as thin as you expect it to be. Although I agree an A380 is a bit much, likely to be served by a 777-300ER.

Emirates has been trying for a while to get to Western Canada.
