Considering to make this a quick turnaround in YYZ, is there any feasible options for this? I can find some connections from EU to YYZ via JFK, however I am not sure if these would be same plane turnarounds or not, not familiar with these North American connections I'm afraid.
The other option would be the LHR route with BA, although this would probably necessitate a stayover in YYZ both directions (too risky connection?)
I've only done an immediate turnaround at YUL, but I would in general give yourself a few hours at least. At YUL, I had to clear Canadian immigration/customs and then US immigration/customs (most US-bound flights from Canada pre-clear US C/I in Canada). Not to mention that JFK-YYZ/YUL (as well as most ORD-YYZ) flights are on regional jets—and JFK and ORD are quite prone to delays.
If you're flying in from Europe, I'm not sure a same-day turnaround is feasible. Maybe if you go with an evening departure on BA YYZ-LHR (assuming an early morning departure from Europe and midday/early afternoon arrival in YYZ). But I don't think you could do HEL-JFK-YYZ-JFK-HEL, etc., on the same day.
Honestly, if it were me, I'd probably overnight just to be safe (and to break up the flying). I've done the overnight at both YYZ and YUL—both have hotels connected to the terminal (and at YYZ, the Four Points is within walking distance from T3, which I actually recommend over the Sheraton) and easy public transit connections to the city centre.
