Toronto police said the shooting occurred on Windsor Road, near Dixon Road and Kipling Avenue, at about 11 p.m.
Police believe only one shot was fired at the victim, who was transported to a local hospital and treated for the gunshot wound.
The bullet went through the victim's leg.
After the shot was fired, the suspects fled in a black Nissan Maxima, police said. No one has been arrested.
Investigators are trying to figure out why the victim was shot and are looking into the possibility that he was targeted.
Their investigation is being hampered a bit, however, because the victim isn't co-operating with officers, police said.
