I don’t believe there is any requirement that they have to be in the same province but it can be as pain in the ass to be an executor for an estate that’s a long ways away.

Your executor may need to visit multiple financial institutions, handle burial arrangements, arrange the sale of your home, arrange what to do with your possessions etc. And since many of these things require in person authorizations and or signatures trying to do it from 1000 km away can be a lot of work.
