The film, starring "Game of Thrones" actor Kit Harington in the lead, will be screened as part of the Special Presentations programme.
"In only a few short years, Xavier Dolan has drawn film lovers all over the world into his personal vision, TIFF artistic director Cameron Bailey said in a statement.

The film's cast also include actors Jacob Tremblay, Natalie Portman, Ben Schnetzer, Susan Sarandon, Jared Keeso, Kathy Bates, Thandie Newton and Sarah Gadon.
The story follows a young actor (Tremblay) as he reminisces on the letters he once shared with an American TV star (Harington), who passed away a decade earlier, and the impact those letters had on both their lives.
The 43rd Toronto International Film Festival will run from September 6 to 16 this year.
