The Catholic Church in Canada comprises

  • a Latin hierarchy, consisting of eighteen ecclesiastical provinces each headed by a Metropolitan archbishop, with a total of 54 suffragan dioceses, each headed by a bishop, and a non-metropolitan Archbishopric, plus a military ordinariate (including 14 auxiliary bishops, for a total of 79 bishops).
  • a Ukrainian Catholic ecclesiastical province, comprising a Metropolitan archeparchy and four suffragan eparchies
  • six single jurisdictions for other Eastern Catholic rites.

Those bishops all belong to the Canadian episcopal conference, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (C.C.C.B., HQ in national capital Ottawa).

Three Eastern Catholic churches have US-based North American jurisdictions covering Canada, as does the Latin Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter headquartered in the US.
