My boundaries shape file has the following attributes; CODE, PROVINCE, AREA, SHAPE_LENG and SHAPE_AREA (note that there are no geo- coordinates). My data on the csv file has the following fields; PROVINCE, MALE, FEMALE. What l need is to have proportional symbol like a circle representing the males and females for each of the provinces on the map. How can l accomplish this???

If the issue you're having is getting the coordinates, you can either calculate the centroids (in QGIS, it's Vector > Geometry Tools > Polygon Centroids), run the provinces through a geocoder, or if there are not too many, just go one-by-one and Google '[Province Name] coordinates.'

Once you get the coordinates, you can load the points into QGIS and import whatever markers you want to use.
