Provincial courts have jurisdiction only in their respective province whereas federal courts have unlimited jurisdiction in Canada. Decisions made in federal courts are binding throughout the country. Judges in provincial courts are appointed by premieres whereas judges in federal courts are appointed by the governor general or prime minister. Federal courts typically try cases of national importance, as opposed to summary offences, for example.
