Pakistan has a huge army. That army probably will not hit Canada any time soon. But Canada has a brigade in what was formerly a Pakistan's sphere of influence, removing that influence bit by bit. It's not an all out war, but it hurts Pakistan's interest.

And it is also true that without the rest of the coalition forces to back them up, any Canadian force would not survive a week in Afghanistan if they were attacked by Pakistani forces. It is irrelevant whether Pakistan can project force onto Canadian territory. Military power, at least as I see it, would define a country's ability to defend itself, rather than attack other countries (project force), as you seem to think. I'm not even sure if Canada has the ability to project a sizeable force on its own without allied help.
