Wikipedia: ISO 3166-2:CA

ISO 3166-2:CA is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Canada (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is CA).

Currently 10 provinces and 3 territories are assigned codes. Each code starts with CA-, followed by two letters, which is the postal abbreviation of the province or territory.
