Canada: The Canadian census in 2001 records 31,265 individuals claimed wholly- or partly- Macedonian heritage in Canada (2001), although community spokesmen have claimed that there are actually 100,000 - 150,000 Macedonians in Canada
The most recent Canadian census (2002), which provides for self-declaration of ethnic origin records 31,270 Macedonians in Canada - the sum total of individuals making single- or multiple-group responses. Centered in Metropolitan Toronto, small groups of Macedonians could also be found elsewhere in Ontario in Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Markham, Mississauga, Newmarket, Niagara Falls, St Catharines, Thornhill, Thorold and Windsor.
Many early Macedonian immigrants found industrial work in Toronto, either as factory hands or labourers in abattoirs, local sheet metal industries, or iron and steel foundries. From these jobs, they quickly progressed to the ownership of a great number of restaurants, grocery stores and butcher shops. Macedonian entrepreneurs and their descendants eventually employed their numerical strength within the food service industry as a catapult into a variety of larger and more sophisticated ventures. The majority of Macedonians today are employed in the professional, clerical and service sector of the economy.
Since 1970, Macedonian ethnocommunity group life has grown and now serves a number of special interests and needs. A number of business and professional associations have been established including the Canadian Macedonian Restaurant Co-op, which was founded in 1979; the Canadian Macedonian Business and Professional Association (1992); and the Macedonian Canadian Health Professionals' Association, formerly the Macedonian Canadian Medical Society (1992). Youth and student groups include the Macedonian Association of Canadian Youth, which was founded in 1992; the Ryerson Association of Macedonian Students (1992); and the Association of Macedonian Students at the University of Toronto, which was granted official recognition as a university campus group in 1989.
The community has also created a number of group newspapers, radio and television programs, folkdance troupes, sporting organizations and historical and literary societies.
Newspapers include Makedonska Tribuna (Macedonian Tribune), the weekly voice of the Macedonian Political (Patriotic since 1952) Organization, which was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1927; United Macedonians, the quarterly of the United Macedonians of Canada Organization, is published in Markham; and the monthly, Makedonija (Macedonia), was founded in 1984 and is published in Scarborough; and Makedonski Vesti (Macedonian News).
Radio programs include Glas od Makedonija (Voice of Macedonia), Macekdonski Glas (Macedonian Voice), Makedonski Svet (Global Macedonia), Obedinata Makedonija (United Macedonia) Makedonski Zrak (Macedonian Ray), and Mak Radio. Television programs include Makedonska Narodnost (Macedonian Nation), Macedonian Edition, and Makedonski Koreni (Macedonian Heritage).
The children of Macedonian immigrants are integrated in the mainstream of Canadian cultural life, and also figure prominently in the professional fields of law, medicine, science and technology, education, sports and recreation, and the arts and entertainment industry.
