How to make a blank Canada map
- Choose Canada. Canada is one of the starting maps, so the provinces and territories come up ready to click. The northern territories are huge on a map like this, which is worth knowing before you pick your colours.
- Name your colours. Write the legend before you paint. With this few shapes the legend does most of the explaining, and a map with two colours and clear labels beats a map with six and none.
- Fill the map. Click to paint each province or territory. Turn on the two-letter abbreviations if the map is going somewhere an international audience will see it.
- Export or publish. Download a PNG, or publish for a link with a preview image. Published Canada maps appear in the community list at the bottom of this page.
What you can do
- All 13 provinces and territories, each a separate clickable shape.
- Two-letter abbreviations printed on the map, on or off, in a colour you pick.
- Flat colours or stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns.
- A legend you write yourself and drag where the map has room.
- A picture can sit inside a province as well as a flat colour.
- Fill every province you have not touched in one action, or clear everything in a single colour.
- Rivers, lakes and major cities as optional overlays, which matter more here than on most maps.
- Backgrounds, borders and border colours are all editable, or turn the borders off.
- Crop the exported view, so a map about the south does not waste half its frame on the Arctic.
- A full-size PNG at the end, with no watermark and nothing to install first.
Make your own blank Canada map
Federal and provincial elections
Seats or vote share by province, or a projection before results. With thirteen shapes the map is readable at thumbnail size, which is why it travels well in a post.
Where a rule applies
Provincial law, sales tax, a public holiday, whether something is legal. Provincial variation is the whole subject of a lot of Canadian arguments and it maps cleanly.
Business coverage
Where you ship, which provinces a licence covers, where a service has launched. Small maps are the honest choice for this: nobody misreads thirteen shapes.
Trips and moves
A route, the provinces a job has taken you through, where family ended up. Two colours and a legend say it faster than the paragraph would.
Language and settlement
Where French is official, where both languages are, where a community actually lives. Bilingual provinces are exactly the case a pattern fill is for: two colours crossed rather than a third invented one.
Hockey, curling and league maps
Team territory, who is left in the playoffs, which league a city plays in. Add the cities overlay so the teams sit where they belong rather than floating in a province.

Common questions
How many regions are on the Canada map?
13: the 10 provinces and the 3 territories, all listed above and all separately clickable.
Are the territories included?
Yes. Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon are on the map as their own shapes, not folded into a single northern block the way some blank maps draw them.
Can I colour the regions inside a province?
Not on this map. It works at province and territory level, which is the level nearly every Canadian map is drawn at. For a finer map, the world map can open some countries into their internal regions.
Can I put Canada and the United States on one map?
Yes, on the world map. Select both countries and expand them, and you get states and provinces together on one board, which is the usual shape for a North American map.
Can I add cities to the map?
Yes. There is an overlay for capitals and major cities, which is worth switching on here: a lot of Canadian maps make more sense once Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are marked, because the population is nowhere near evenly spread.
Can I leave the far north off the map?
Yes. Crop the exported view to the part you care about, which is how a map about the southern cities avoids spending two thirds of its frame on tundra. The territories stay on the map, they are just outside the crop.
Do I need to log in?
No. The editor opens immediately, the map stays in this browser while you work, and exporting a PNG never asks you to sign in.
Can I use the exported map commercially?
The image is yours: no watermark, no attribution to us required. What you put on the map is your own content, so the usual rules about any images you add still apply.
