None of the injuries were life-threatening, police posted on X, saying six of those injured had gunshot wounds.
Toronto Police added that the victims are aged between their 20s and mid-50s.
The force also said it is "deploying all available resources to locate & arrest those responsible".
The update comes hours after Toronto police said it was searching for one suspect in relation to the shooting.
The force added that the suspect was "wearing a black balaclava" and was seen "fleeing in [a] silver car".
Police were called to reports of a shooting at the Piper Arms pub in Scarborough, a district of Toronto, at around 10.39pm local time.
Officers are urging people to avoid the scene at Progress Ave and Corporate Drive.
Armed police and several ambulances and fire engines are in the area as the hunt for the suspects continues.
Toronto paramedics told Canada's CP24 Media it was a "dynamic situation" and that the injuries ranged from minor to critical.
Olivia Chow, mayor of Toronto, said: "I am deeply troubled to hear reports of a shooting at a pub in Scarborough.
"I have spoken to (Toronto Police Chief Myron) Demkiw and he has assured me all necessary resources have been deployed. This is an early and ongoing investigation - police will provide further details.

Two dead as car plunges 300ft off cliff in beauty spot horror
According to reports, the incident happened in full view of horrified onlookers. Two people have been killed after a vehicle plunged 300ft from a cliff at a popular coastal beauty spot. On Friday evening, a silver vehicle plummeted down the cliff face before hitting the water. Tonight, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police have confirmed that the incident at Alum Bay resulted in the deaths of two people. The horrific crash sparked a huge emergency response, with coastguard ships, police, firefighters and paramedics all racing to the scene. It has been reported that a man was dragged from the water, however, further details about his conditions were unknown until tonight. According to reports, the incident happened in full view of horrified onlookers. It comes as people gathered in the Isle of Wight for The Round the Island Race - a one-day yacht race around the island. The race still went ahead yesterday, despite the route passing through Alum Bay. The wreckage of the car - which had its roof and bonnet crumpled - could be seen partially submerged in the coastal waters in dramatic images of the aftermath, reports The Isle of Wight County Press. On Friday, police released a statement, which read: "We're currently at the scene of a serious incident in Totland. "We were called at 7.21pm this evening (Friday, June 6) after a car, which was being driven along Alum Bay New Road, left the road, came off the cliff top and came to rest in the water below." The site of the horror incident is near the Isle of Wight Needles - a famed landmark in the area of three stacks of chalk jutting out of the water. Only yesterday, an inquest heard how a 12-year-old boy slipped in a puddle and lost his balance by the edge of a cliff before plunging to his death. French tourist Marion Tourgon described the moment young Zhihan Zhao tragically died after an accident at the Cliffs of Moher in western Ireland, on July 23, 2024. The 12-year-old had set out on a walk with his mum, Xianhong Huang, and friends on the Cliffs of Moher trail but the stroll turned fatal at around 1.45pm. The Chinese nationals had only arrived to Ireland 12 days before the tragic incident, and were visiting one of the country's most popular attractions. The mum said her son was walking ahead of her on the trail when she had lost sight of him. She told how they started walking from the Nagle's car park in Liscannor, and said: "My son walked very fast and was ahead of us by 50 metres. As there was only one path I thought we would meet him along the way. When I didn't I walked to the visitor centre and I checked the visitor centre."
