I'm doing Canada, US, some Europe, Russia, short time in Korea and Japan. I also want to see if I can get a permit to visit North Korea.

When do you plan to visit the Toronto area? Right now there is a lot of snow, and wind, and cold so hopefully you come during the summer unless you want to freeze and curse while stuck in traffic:

In terms of **** to do, depends what you are into. Toronto has restaurants everywhere of every ethnicity so expect good food.
Sights:
-CN Tower (view of Toronto). Do 360 restaurant so you do not have to wait forever (food sucks 3/5 at best but view is worth it plus then you can check out the rest of the tower up top without having to wait hours to go up the elevator)
-Rogers Centre: Nice stadium if you are into that sorta thing
-Ripleys Aquarium: Nice if you are into that sorta thing
-Canada's Wonderland: Amusement park, go early in the morning so you do not have to wait in long lineups. You can buy a pass so you can jump the line that costs like $100 or something like that, heard it is worth it, though that said I have not been in a decade or two cause I have better things to do with my time
-Ontario Science Centre: If you have kids not bad, some interesting stuff
-Royal Ontario Museum: If you like museums they have good stuff there, if you find museums boring dont bother
-Centre Island: you have to take the ferry across but nice view of the city skyline plus things to do on the island
You really should note what your passions are or what you usually do when vacationing as if you are into outdoors I could go over stuff to do, if you are into scenic **** I could list some areas to check out, if you are into other **** that I cannot think of I could advise again so maybe give more details of what your interests are on your first post...
Oh Niagara Falls is nice for the falls, plus butterfly conservation just north is nice.
Montreal rocks for Mount Royal plus St Caths street is nice for clubbing.
I would NOT go clubbing in Toronto unless you feel like dodging gunfire for the record...
