After researching it a bit, it sounds like the Turks and Caicos thing has been going on for almost 100 years with various PMs and MPs pushing for it. The issue seems to be a consitutional one. In order to admit a new province, the constitution would have to be openned, which will in turn, open up a big can of worms. Turk and Caicos seems to want provincial status and nothing else. Nova Scotia apparently gave them an offer to join their province, but they didn't go for it.
