In 1867, three provinces of British North America â New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the Province of Canada (which, on the formation of Canada, was divided into Ontario and Quebec)âwere united to form the new nation.
These are the dates when the following provinces and territories joined Canada. Canada currently has ten provinces and three territories. Our three territories are the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Before 1999, Canada had ten provinces and two territories. The two territories at that time were Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories. In April, 1999, the Northwest Territories were divided to create a new territory, Nunavut.
