What you saw was the known case of a Volga-Dneper Antonov-124, not a Boeing,
which has been stranded at Pearson since Feb.27th 2022. It arrived with cargo
from China with stops in Khabarovsk Novy in Russia and Anchorage. It was
scheduled to depart again but in the meantime Transport Canada closed the
Canadian airspace to Russian operators and the airplane has been stuck there
since then.
 
Russian registered aircraft, large and small, are stuck all over the globe but
they're going nowhere at the time. They are being serviced though to prevent
them from decay.
 
There's an A320 sitting at Amsterdam Schiphol that I know of.
 
There are three Antonov AN-124 Leipzig, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger
300 and a Boeing 737 in Cologne and a Boeing 747 in Frankfurt-Hahn. Another
four aircraft are in Baden-Baden: a Cessna 750 Citation X, two Embraer
ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600 and a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS which are
all private aircraft of Russian oligrach which cannot go anywhere, same as
their seagoing yachts that have been chained in ports if they were not quick
enough to leave.
 
12 aircraft are stuck in Switzerland, one of them an Aeroflot airliner, the
remainder being business jets.
 
Added info: about 400 western made passenger and freight airplanes are stuck
in Russia of which about 2/5 is not airworthy anymore due to lack of
maintenance and parts. The remaining 3/5 are becoming critical and probably
would not be alowed anymore in western airspace due to inadequate
airworthiness documentation.
