For administrative purposes, local churches were grouped in dioceses, which were headed by bishops. A bishop's own church, where he presided at services, was the cathedral. The cathedral also had the central offices, and usually one or more monasteries, hospitals, schools, libraries, or other types of institutions associated with it. Cathedrals were built to be churches from which these functions could be provided.
During parts of the Middle Ages, the presence of a cathedral was the thing that distinguished a city from a town.

No, Canadians did not build enormous cathedrals in the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages refers to the period between the 5th and 15th centuries, and during that time, Canada as we know it today did not exist. Instead, Europe was the primary center for the construction of cathedrals during this era.
The use of cathedrals was the same in the Middle Ages as it is today, as the church associated with the central administration of a diocese. The diocese is a set of churches grouped according to geographical area. The religious head of a diocese is a bishop, whose church is the cathedral. It is called a cathedral because the bishop's throne is there; the Latin word "cathedra" means seat. The presence of a cathedral was the thing that distinguished a city from a town, for much of the Middle Ages.
