Population and distributionAccording to the 2011 Census there were 3,570 Canadians who claimed Coptic ancestry (this figure combines single and multiple ethnic origin responses).[2] An additional 73,250 Canadians claimed Egyptian ancestry, and some of these are believed to be Copts.[2] The Canadian Coptic Association estimates that there are 35,000 Copts living in Canada; according to CBC News, "if other sects with strong ties to the Coptic community are included, the figure is possibly higher still."[3] (Note: There is likely a typo in the CBC article where an extra zero was added, thereby erroneous stating that there are 350,000 Copts in Canada). Toronto and the surrounding metropolitan region have the largest concentration of Copts in Canada.[3]Immigration historyThe immigration of the Copts to Canada might have started as early as the late 1950s. Due to an increasing amount of discrimination towards Copts in Egypt in the 1970s, many decided to emigrate in order to escape the rising racial tensions. Canada has been receiving a greater number of these immigrants, and the number of Coptic immigrants into Canada has been growing ever since.[4] Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada{{Main|Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada}}In 1964, St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church was established in Toronto; this was the first Coptic church established in the Coptic diaspora.[5] In 2002, a survey showed 22 Coptic Orthodox parishes in Canada, indicating growth.[6] In 2011, there were five Coptic Orthodox churches in Montreal.[7] Notable Coptic Canadians
