It's difficult at best and you're much better off to try a cutting from an existing plant or else grow from bought seed rather than from fruit itself.
I agree with Rima that it would be much easier to propagate from a cutting or buy a plant, that way you can choose the best plant for your area. If you are trying to grow from seed that you saved from a fruit that you liked, chances are it was grown in a much warmer location than Toronto and will not perform well for you. But if you want to try for the horticultural experience and fun of it, it can be done. Here is an interesting page on figs: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/fig.html
