In most cases the same political parties will be found at both the federal and provincial levels of government. As to which party or parties form the provincial opposition, that will have to be determined on a province-by-province basis.
Other than parties and leaders that do not form the government there are none.
The largest party in opposition is called the "Official Opposition," officially known as "Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition." As a result of Canada's federal election of May 2, 2011, the New Democratic Party (NDP) now forms Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. The Honourable Nycole Turmel, Leader of the NDP, is the Leader of the Opposition. The Liberal Party has been reduced to minority third party status and the Bloc Québéois, which elected only four members, has lost official party status.

There are two types of opposition parties in the House of Commons: Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition (sometimes referred to simply as the Official Opposition), and third opposition parties. The Official Opposition is thought of as a "Government-in-waiting", providing an alternative government to take over should the existing Government resign or be dismissed, with the Leader of the Official Opposition being an alternative prime minister.Third opposition parties are also responsible for holding the Government accountable, but are generally not thought of as a viable alternative government, and rarely have as much pre-eminence in Parliament as do the Official Opposition. (For example, the Official Opposition receives more time during question period than do the third opposition parties.)
In Canada, the parties that are not in power are referred to as "opposition parties." The primary opposition party is known as the "Official Opposition," which is typically the party with the second-largest number of seats in the House of Commons. Other smaller parties that are not in government also contribute to the opposition, collectively holding the government accountable and providing alternative policies.
Aside from the current ruling party, Canada also has oppositional parties and leaders as well. Provincial Canadian oppositional parties include the New Democratic Party (NDP) headed by Tom Mulcair. The Liberal Party of Canada is headed by Bob Ray, and the Bloc Quebecois is headed by Daniel Paille.
