Default "Pakistani" airfield near Toronto?

I was out flying around western New York yesterday, listening to 122.7
which is used for a lot of local airports as a CTAF. As usual, I could
also hear some airports in southern Ontario. But then I heard something
weird - a couple of guys with thick Pakistani accents were on the
frequency, and it sounded like they were calling CTAF at "Pakistan Toronto
Airfield". It also sounded like they were using British-style radio
technique, asking for "landing instructions" and the like.

Is there a flight school or something near Toronto where they train
Pakistani pilots so exclusively that they'd use "Pakistan Toronto
Airfield" as the name on the CTAF?
