Principal in Canada, one entering Toronto, isn't bothered -- twisted individual? (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contortionist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'individual?' is the definition.
(contortionist is a kind of individual)

'principal in canada one entering toronto isn't bothered twisted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'toronto' is 'ontorto' which is present in the left over letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for contortionist that I've seen before include "One shifts joints unpredictably" , "One with rubber limbs" , "Gymnast" , "Elastic-bodied entertainer" , "Twisty and bendy entertainer" .)
