The 2019 statcan estimate for the City of Toronto was 2,965,713, which was an increase of 46,000 from 2018, so the city is likely at (or slightly above) 3000,000 as of this year, which would give it a population density of at least 4,760 pp sq km or 12,330 pp sq mi.
Chicago's 2018 population estimate of 2,705,994 would give it a density of 11,888 pp sq mi (land area only), and Philly's 2018 estimate of 1,584,138 gives it a density of 11,797 pp sq mi. I don't think Chicago or Philly would have grown enough from 2018 to 2019 to breach 12,000 pp sq mi.
