A new species of toad is introduced into a region in a shipment of fruit, survives, and manages to start breeding. How could you determine whether the toad was an invasive species? You would need to determine whether it started breeding with native species. You would have to see if it was present over a large region or if it stayed in one location. All nonnative species are invasive species. You would need to watch over time to see if it had a negative effect on other species. As it is now breeding in the area, it would be considered native and not invasive.
