Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada

The Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada is under the jurisdiction of the Coptic Orthodox Church, with its patriarchal Archdiocese of North America.
==History==
The immigration of the Copts to Canada might have started as early as the late 1950s. Starting in the 1970s, Canada has been receiving a greater number of these immigrants, and the number of Coptic immigrants into Canada has been growing ever since. According to the census, there were over 10,000 Orthodox Copts in Canada by the year 2001—an increase from only 5,000 in 1991. With that calculated growth rate, this figure could now be as high as 25,000.Census 1991 — 2001/Growth ratesCanadian Data About Christianity: Growths and Losses from 1991 to 2001
