Between 1888 and the 1970's, Canada was placed second in the world in terms of sheer number of skyscrapers . The tallest were located in Canada's biggest cities such as Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver but up to fifteen skyscrapers were found in Winnipeg, most of which were built before 1920. In 1939, there were hundreds of high-rises in Canada, Many of them located in Montréal, which was enjoying a boom but the tallest ones were found in Toronto.

Here is list of skyscrapers, churches, and other buildings found in Canada and built between 1809 and 1939. When a building's height is listed as an estimation, it is given its estimated height on the following factors:
