The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed all individuals were evacuated after the incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. local time.
The plane, a Bombardier CR900, had flown from Minneapolis in the US to Toronto, Canada when it flipped and landed upside down shortly.
A video showed one woman hanging upside down from her seat in the rolled-over aircraft.
"My plane crashed I'm upside down," she captioned the video.
She then recorded the terrified passengers stumbling off the plane as they escaped to safety.
"I was just in a plane crash, oh my god," the shocked passenger stated.
The Toronto airport has temporarily shut down, forcing flights to be diverted to nearby airports.
