Copts in Canada, Question about the churches!

Salam w ne3ma everyone, finally i am moving to Canada next August for University and to settle there for good.
I am applying to University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University, BC, University of Western Ontario and McMaster, for engineering.
I was wondering if there are Coptic Churches around these universities as I will be living on-campus because my family lives in Calgary; it's really hard to imagine my life without a coptic Church.
Are there Churches nearby because I won't get a car for the first term at least? Are there good Churches where i can take coptic and Alhan classes? not just for Odas and 3asheya.

Thanks in advance !

    Hey man,

    There's churches near all the cities you described. Canadian churches are great for learning and the people are really friendly and welcoming.

    Copts have flooded the Western world like rats, you'll find them everywhere. Wherever there are Copts, there are churches. Universities these big will always have a copt population, because you know lots of Copts opt for the highest eduction.

    EDIT: not like rats, Copts bring good, not bad, to the western world. More like... bees.... but bees are becoming more rare...

    Hey! I may be at SFU next year as well. As a matter of fact depending on which campus you go to, you could be within a 5 min bus ride of two churches.( that's the surrey campus) even from the main campus it shouldnt take any more then 1.5-2 hours transit maybe less. Not sure how long driving as I rely more on transit

    The Kitchener church is a 15 min drive from UW. It takes a long time to get there with public transit, but there are always many youth going for various services, so carpooling usually isn't a problem.
