Yep,

Due to delays at JFK they chose to divert to YYZ, during the diversion they got a change to the existing clearance so declared minimum fuel and landed safely.

ICAO Annex 6 Part I.
4.3.7.2.2 The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring MINIMUM FUEL when, having committed to land at a specific aerodrome, the pilot calculates that any change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than planned final reserve fuel.
