Abstract: 'Province' and 'territory' refer to the major political units of Canada. From a statistical point of view, province and
territory are basic areas for which data are tabulated. Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories.
Statistics Canada uses standard codes and abbreviations to represent provinces and territories. The two-digit code that
uniquely identifies each province/territory is based on the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC). The code is assigned
from east to west. The first digit represents the geographical region of Canada in which the province/territory is located and
the second digit denotes one of the 10 provinces and 3 territories.
