is there any diffrences of what makes a province a province and what makes it a territory?

The main difference is in how they were created. A province is created due to a constitutional act while a territory is created through the determination of federal law.
There are more provinces (10) than territories (only 3). The three territories are Nunavut, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories and the provinces are farther north on the map than the territories.
Both held under basically the same laws.
The provinces are often open to financial pressure from the federal government. Often money is collected through a wide variety of programs are distributed through the federal power, at the request of the provinces. The government imposes mandates to ensure that the funds are not only used as the government sees fit, but also to help put pressure on the territories to back up their requirements with proof.
The territories often have mandates that aren’t in exact cohesion with the mandates laid out for the territories.
The territories are not heavily populated. The latest census reveals that the entire span of all three put together might hold about 100,000 people. The territories are seeking, and are expected to eventually become, provinces of Canada.
Basically,
Constitutional acts create provinces.
Federal law mandates territories.
Funding distribution and mandates can be different for territories.
The territories have fewer people per square kilometer.
Territories are headed toward becoming provinces of Canada.
Hope this helps!!

The territories are up North, and the provinces are South of the territories. The territories have less people, and plenty more wild side. From what I understand, there are more natives out there than there are down in southern Canada, especially eastern Canada. Not many Canadians even seem to know the difference, and that's mainly because no one really pays any attention to them, except for the people who live in them and the environmentalists. I know this isn't a very good answer, but the girl already said everything I could have said to make this a better answer.
