Narrative:
Cleared profile runway 24 into yyz, descending to 11000 ft. Both captain and first officer had approach plate 10-2 for runway 6. Cleared profile to runway 24. We were at 12000 ft, 15 mi west of ywt and descended to 11000 ft after 15 mi. Should have been 17000-13000 ft over ywt and then descend to 11000 ft after VOR. We were 2000 ft low. As we crossed the VOR we asked approach control if we should go to 7000 ft as per runway 24 profile. They said, 'no, only cleared to 11000 ft per runway 24 profile.' no aircraft conflict. Had wrong plate out. Could they make charts clrer so we don't get the wrong one?

Title: FLC OF AN MLG DSNDED BELOW THE STAR PUBLISHED ALT DURING ARR DUE TO REFERRING TO THE WRONG STAR CHART.
Narrative: CLRED PROFILE RWY 24 INTO YYZ, DSNDING TO 11000 FT. BOTH CAPT AND FO HAD APCH PLATE 10-2 FOR RWY 6. CLRED PROFILE TO RWY 24. WE WERE AT 12000 FT, 15 MI W OF YWT AND DSNDED TO 11000 FT AFTER 15 MI. SHOULD HAVE BEEN 17000-13000 FT OVER YWT AND THEN DSND TO 11000 FT AFTER VOR. WE WERE 2000 FT LOW. AS WE CROSSED THE VOR WE ASKED APCH CTL IF WE SHOULD GO TO 7000 FT AS PER RWY 24 PROFILE. THEY SAID, 'NO, ONLY CLRED TO 11000 FT PER RWY 24 PROFILE.' NO ACFT CONFLICT. HAD WRONG PLATE OUT. COULD THEY MAKE CHARTS CLRER SO WE DON'T GET THE WRONG ONE?
