Canadian universities use different GPA scales depending on the province. Ontario generally uses 4.0, Quebec uses 4.3, and British Columbia uses 4.33. This converter handles the provincial differences and maps your Canadian GPA to the US 4.0 scale.
| Province | Scale | A Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | 4.0 | 80-100% = A | Most common, direct mapping |
| Quebec | 4.3 | 85-100% = A+ | Scale to 4.0 for US comparison |
| British Columbia | 4.33 | 86-100% = A+ | Similar to Quebec |
| Alberta | 4.0 | 85-100% = A | Direct mapping to US |
Canada does not have a single unified grading system. Each province and often each university sets its own scale. Ontario is closest to the US system with a 4.0 scale. Quebec (including McGill, Concordia) uses 4.3, which means an A+ can earn 4.3 grade points rather than the US cap of 4.0. British Columbia follows a similar 4.33 system. For US applications, the key is identifying which provincial scale your grades are on.
