At my knowledge there is only 10 province and 3 territorys.

Oops, sorry!  I meant "12 administrative divisions" or whatever the generic

Yes 3. April first
was the day of the creation of the "Nunavut". NWT had been split in 2 west

Does Nunavut have an official mailcode?  (AB=Alberta, SK=Saskatchewan, etc.)
