How many Provinces and Territories does Canada have? In June 1979, 12 stamps were issued for the Canada Day celebration.
The set (shown above) shows the flags of the 2 Territories and
10 Canadian provinces.
That was in 1979.
Now, there are still 10 Canadian Provinces but already
3 Territories with the addition of Nunavut in 1999.
The main difference between a Canadian territory and a province
is that a Canadian province derives its powers
directly from the Crown, according to the Constitution Act of 1867.
Territories get their powers from the Canadian federal government.
