From Wikipedia:

> Seats in the House of Commons are distributed roughly in proportion to the population of each province and territory. However, some ridings are more populous than others, and the Canadian constitution contains provisions regarding provincial representation. As a result, there is some interprovincial and regional malapportionment relative to population.

In other words, because of a low population, Nunavut has fewer ridings†, but each MP from such a riding has more relative power than they “should” have, which kinda sorta balances out the problems that this causes.

† And the reason Canada went with apportioning Nunavut fewer ridings, is that it’s nearly impractical to expect a sparse population of 30k people to support even one full set of competing MP candidates with their own election campaigns, let alone several such sets operating concurrently. Better that they just elect one person, and that person hold all the electoral power owed to the province.
