Notes:
{{refbegin}}
# Immediately prior to Confederation, Ontario and Quebec were part of the [[Province of Canada]].
# Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island were separate colonies at the time of joining Canada.
# Manitoba was established simultaneously with Northwest Territories.
# Saskatchewan and Alberta were created out of land that had been part of Northwest Territories.
# Prior to its entry in Confederation, Newfoundland had been a [[British Dominions|Dominion]] within the British Commonwealth, but due to a financial crisis during the Depression had surrendered its right to self-government and was under direct British governance.

====Territories====
There are currently three territories in Canada. Unlike the provinces, the territories of Canada have no inherent jurisdiction and only have those powers delegated to them by the federal government.
