Narrative:

At our company we have only 1 set of approach plates onboard our aircraft. We were going into toronto, ontario, when center assigned us the runway 6L profile descent into toronto. With only 1 set of plates for canada with good CRM on mind, I looked over the profile descent. I gave the plate to the first officer and have him monitor our progress on the plate. We crossed the ywt 15 DME arc at approximately 13000 ft and continued my descent to cross ricki intersection at 7000 ft and 210 KTS. When the first officer said, 'wait, you should be at 12000 ft,' and 'no wait,' there was some confusion in the cockpit. So I started to level off. Then, arrival said, 'are you continuing your descent?' so I pushed it over and the first officer said, 'yes.' then I looked at the GPS, it said we had 12 mi to go, so I put the gear down and 20 degree flaps and pushed it over. The controller kept asking if we 'were going to make the speed and altitude restr,' and the first officer said, 'yes.' we did cross ricki intersection at 7000 ft and 215 KTS. I don't know what the controller was reading on his screen. That's what worries me. We were coming down very fast (rate of descent). This same problem has happened to me before. Canadian charts are different from ours so I will have to brief the profile descent better and make sure there is no question, before starting, not during the descent. I should have told the controller of the mix-up and got vectors or something. I have included a copy of the profile descent into toronto, ontario.
