The cold in Toronto is more of a humid cold, so Merino wool gear works best: socks, hats, thermals, neck gaiters, etc. Heated vests and gloves are super helpful. The missionaries mostly wear winter lined Blundstone boots.

By far the most mentioned boots in ALL missionary threads. It is a Chelsea boot style. A thermal version is available for really cold climates. I haven't found a negative review of Blundstones. Many missionaries say these lasted their entire mission and still look nice.
These coats are a little pricey, but they've been said to be so, so nice for those extra cold areas of the world. They are rated for -50 degrees.
