Canadian churches get no tax money. What ever gave you the idea that they did?

Their schools:
Catholic board needs clean sweep [Toronto Catholic District School Board]
Catholic trustee tells court she wouldn’t have tried to influence vote [Toronto School Board]
Non-Catholics Trying to Lie Their Way into Teaching at Ontario Catholic Schools
Jobless, non-religious teachers to turn Catholicism in attempt for employment
Catholic schools want your tax dollars. Real bad.....

Religious schools are considered an inherent part of education in Canada, unlike here in the US. That's a cultural thing as well. It applies to Protestant church run schools as well, mostly in Quebec.

Section 29 of the CCRF

The Separate School system was built into that part of the constitution originally enacted in the British parliament as the British North America Act. It was part of the deal made by the various colonies and arose out of the tensions between francophome and anglophone and Catholic and Protestant.

For tax roll purposes, each family defines itself as being a public school supporter or a separate school supporter (whether or not it has children of school age).
