Using a blank map of Canadian provinces and territories
Anyone who needs the shape of Canada's provinces and territories without labels will want one of two versions. With borders draws all 10 provinces and 3 territories as separate shapes and comes first on this page; Outline only is the shape of the country with no lines inside it. Each comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.
A map for a briefing or a report
Put the With borders PNG on a page of a report and write a figure or a short note beside each province and territory it covers, drawing a thin line from each note to its shape in your layout tool. Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Yukon and Alberta make a quick set of five to try. The list of provinces and territories further down this page gives the spellings.
On a slide or in a design tool
The PNG's transparent background takes the colour of the slide, so a title slide in your brand blue shows only the shape of the country. In Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, open the SVG and give the lines a heavier weight or a brand colour for a report cover. A map of this shape also works behind a few figures on a results slide, with the numbers laid over the shapes they belong to.
Which one to take
The political blank map of the Canadian provinces and territories is the With borders version: the divisions drawn in and no names. Outline only suits a silhouette or a logo sketch; the blank map of Canada has that outline on a page of its own. Take the SVG when the file will be scaled, and the PDF for A4 or Letter. For black and white copies and colouring before printing, use the printable map of Canadian provinces and territories.
