I'm located in Toronto GTA area and this insect has good vision moves like a spider .  Anyone know what it is?

No it's a spider, you misunderstood

Arachnids have 8 legs this creature appears to have 6. I try to catch the creature.

I think the 2 legs at the front may be mandibles. But it does act very much like a spider.

I managed to catch the creature twice and it escaped twice. The third time I got the information I was looking for. It is a spider which spends most of its time crawling to catch insects. It is small from 1mm to .5 of a centimeter. I believe it is a wolf spider or similar because it produces a web cocoon to sleep and has 8 legs. The front 2 legs are close to its head.

If it is a Wolf Spider, then yeah the hunt for their food & they don't spin webs.

I'm not sure how many species of spiders hunt in Canada other than the Wolf Spider, but I know that Dock Spiders also hunt, even for minnows & small frogs!
