Canada's Largest and Newest Territory

Nunavut is Canada's largest territory by area — covering about one fifth of the country's total — and its youngest, created in 1999. Home to the Inuit, it offers unique opportunities in mining, government and Arctic research, but with very limited immigration pathways.
