NT    North West Territories (is that really a province?) 
PE    Prince Edward Island 

Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories aren't provinces, they're territories.

The ones you had are correct.

274.3Why use abbreviations?KAOM25::TOMKINSThis MIND left BLANK INTENTIONALLYThu Mar 08 1990 11:566
    I never use abbreviations when writing address's on envelopes. I
    look up the spelling in my atlas or dictionary as may be the case
    and write on what I find there.
    I usually do not abbreviate street, avenue or court as well.

    You'll find that most business addresses for Ontario are
    'ONT'...Canada has three letter designations which are more
    popular than the 2-letter American cousins.
