A Canada map, also referred to as a Map of Canada, is a geographic depiction of Canada showing its provinces, territories, major cities, borders, and regional divisions. Canada has ten provinces and three territories, and standard maps often highlight the country’s location in northern North America and its east-west span across the Atlantic to the Pacific. Canada maps are widely used in Canadian classrooms, government publications, and travel references.

Administrative divisions

Maps of Canada commonly label the ten provinces and three territories. The provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan; the territories are the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon.

Regional map divisions

Canada is often grouped into five broad regions on educational and reference maps: Atlantic, Central Canada, Prairie Provinces, West Coast, and North. These regional labels are used for geography, travel, and civic education.

Size and location

Canada is in northern North America and stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, reaching into the Arctic north. It covers about 9.98 million square kilometres and is the second-largest country in the world by area.

Map types

A Canada map may be a political map, physical map, outline map, or city map. Political maps show boundaries and capitals, while outline maps are simplified country shapes used for labels, classroom activities, and identification exercises.
