Largest Canadian Provinces by Land Area

Canada’s provinces vary massively in size, from the sprawling, resource-rich landscapes of the West to the smaller, more densely settled maritime regions in the East. While Ontario and Quebec hold the majority of the population, Quebec stands as the largest province by land area, followed closely by the three Prairie provinces and British Columbia.
