A Porter Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GLQN performing flight PD-486 from Montreal,QC to Toronto Billy Bishop,ON (Canada), was climbing out of Montreal when just before levelling off at FL220 the crew received a fuselage door warning and observed a gradual increase of the cabin altitude. The flight crew decided to descend to 14,000 feet and declared PAN PAN. During the descent the increase of the cabin altitude accelerated. The crew decided to divert to Ottawa,ON (Canada) and declared emergency. Descending through 12,000 feet the aircraft lost cabin pressure completely. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on Ottawa's runway 07.

The Canadian TSB reported the cargo door handle had become unstowed in flight, which deflated the door seal and depressurized the aircraft.
