As a country, Canada has ten provinces and three territories. These subdivisions vary widely in both land and water area. The largest subdivision by land area is the territory of Nunavut. The largest subdivision by water area is the province of Quebec. The smallest subdivision of both land and water area is the province of Prince Edward Island.[1]

Canada is the second-largest country in the world; it has the fourth-largest dry land area, and the largest freshwater area.[2]

Total area

The total area of a province or territory is the sum of its land area and the area of its internal water (freshwater only).

Areas are rounded to the nearest square kilometre or square mile. Percentages are given to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Internal water area (fresh-water only)

The internal water area data below, includes freshwater (i.e., lakes, rivers, and reservoirs). It excludes internal salt water and territorial waters claimed by Canada in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans. Canada considers its internal water area to include 1,600,000 km2 of salt water in Hudson Bay and the ocean within and around Canada's Arctic Archipelago. Canada's territorial sea is 200,000 km2.[3][4][5]

Areas are given to the nearest whole unit. Percentages are given to the nearest tenth of a percent.
