This article lists Canadian provinces and territories by gross domestic product (GDP) .
While Canada's ten provinces and three territories exhibit high per capita GDPs , there is wide variation among them. Ontario , the country's most populous province, is a major manufacturing and trade hub with extensive linkages to the northeastern and midwestern United States . The economies of Alberta , Saskatchewan , Newfoundland and Labrador and the territories rely heavily on natural resources . On the other hand, Manitoba , Quebec and The Maritimes have the country's lowest per capita GDP values.
In the face of these long-term regional disparities, the Government of Canada redistributes some of its revenues through unconditional equalization payments and finances the delivery of comparable levels of government services through the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer .
GDP and per capita GDP, 2022
A table listing total GDP (expenditure-based), share of Canadian GDP, population, and per capita GDP in 2022.
For illustrative purposes, market income (total income less government transfers)[1] per capita from tax returns is included. (The per capita, rather than per tax filer, measure is chosen for comparability with GDP per capita.)

International comparisons, 2022
In the table below, the figures from the previous table are converted to United States dollars using the ratio of the International Monetary Fund 's estimate for Canada's GDP by purchasing power parity (PPP) to Canada's nominal GDP.[6] The per capita GDP PPP for the relevant year of other advanced economies with a population of at least 15 million according to the International Monetary Fund is provided as comparison.
(Note that because the same conversion rate is used for all of Canada, this method overstates the GDP PPP of provinces and territories with high price levels, and understates the GDP PPP of provinces and territories with low price levels.)
