CATSA (the Canadian version of the TSA) publishes wait times here:

http://www.catsa.gc.ca/waittimes?field_wt_airport_city_value=Toronto

That's just the security wait, not the immigration wait.  If you have
NEXUS or GE, immigration rarely takes more than five minutes.  If you
don't, I'd allow an hour.  It probably won't take an hour, but you can
feel awfully frustrated if your plane leaves while you're still in
the queue.

Also note that T1 commuter flights to the US leave from a group of
gates locally known as Siberia, which are reached after a very long
walk that includes either a flight of stairs or a slow elevator.

R's,
