Threaten deceptive practices and bait and switch on them. Get the contact information of your Attorney General or equivalent and show it to the President. Also say you'll contact Toyota Canada to report their exploitative behavior.
These are all things you can do if the President fails to work with you.

Sadly Ontario is lacking alot of Consumer Protection rights when it comes to car purchasing including a 'cooling off period'. I'm hoping the President will given the close relationship him and my dad share (unfortunately the President only came to know this AFTER the fact so tomorrow morning I'll see what can happen) and something can be worked out to renegotiate the contract so I don't have to pursue anything further but if need be I'll take your advice

Since you don't have the car, you should be able to void the contract and potentially just lose any costs the dealer had transferring the car.

Call it a 'rookie' mistake or however you want to spell it out to me, yes I should have read over what I was signing. They only had me sign one document which IMO was just so they could do a credit check; didn't even cross my mind I was signing a bill of sale (this is based on the shady wording of the Finance Manager) for the vehicle.
I can still technically refuse delivery of the vehicle and void the contract that way, but again I risk losing my deposit and incurring additional fees. OMVIC called me back and told the bill of sale was valid so this is my only course of action if something cannot be worked out tomorrow morning.
