Ottawa police said "preliminary information indicates that the aircraft failed to negotiate the runway and crashed beyond the tarmac threshold," according to a statement.
The flight with 33 passengers and three crew onboard originated from Dulles airport in the US capital, Washington.
"None of the passengers were seriously hurt, but the pilot suffered minor injuries, and is being transferred to hospital," Kealey said.
Paramedics and fire crews were at the scene. An investigation into the accident would be conducted, Kealey said.
