The Welsh striker has been linked to the Canadian side after failing to make a single appearance for the Championship leaders this season.
Bluebirds manager Malkay Makay has now confirmed the 31-year-old is in talks with Toronto officials over a possible move.
"He's going over to have a look around and a talk with Toronto about the possibility of a loan," Mackay told the South Wales Echo.
"Whether it happens or not is another matter, but we've given him the opportunity to do that. Rob needs his career to go on because this is football after all.
"There's nothing been biting here for him and if he feels that a move there would be something beneficial to him, then I'm certainly not going to stand in his way. I'd never stand in a player's way when it comes to them getting the chance of playing football.
"But at the moment he's just talking to them so right now we will just await developments."
Toronto general manager Kevin Payne, meanwhile, confirmed the talks between the club and player, but was more diplomatic over the possibility of an imminent deal.
"Earnshaw arrives to take a look at us and for us to take a look at him to see if that's a fit that might work," Payne said. "But it's a little too early to tell if that's going to happen," he added.
