The Syriac Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Canada (informally Canada of the Syriacs) is a Syriac Catholic Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or apostolic exarchate of the Catholic Church in Canada.

It is exempt directly to the Holy See (specifically the Congregation for the Oriental Churches), and not part of any ecclesiastical province.
