Canadian universities do not share one GPA scale. Many use 4.0 (University of Toronto, McGill), some use 4.3 (Concordia, Université de Montréal) and some use 4.33 (Simon Fraser). Pick your school's scale and this converter maps your GPA to the US 4.0 scale.
| Scale | Example schools | Conversion | A 3.7 becomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.0 | University of Toronto, McGill | No change | 3.70 |
| 4.3 | Concordia, Université de Montréal | GPA × 4.0 / 4.3 | 3.44 |
| 4.33 | Simon Fraser University | GPA × 4.0 / 4.33 | 3.42 |
Canada does not have a single unified grading system. Each university sets its own scale, even within one province. McGill and the University of Toronto use a 4.0 scale that maps directly to the US. Concordia and Université de Montréal use 4.3, so an A+ earns 4.3 points instead of the US cap of 4.0. Simon Fraser uses 4.33. Some Ontario schools use other scales: York uses 9 points, the University of Ottawa 10 points and McMaster 12 points. A simple proportion does not work for those scales, so convert each course from its letter grade with our college GPA calculator instead. Check your transcript legend to confirm your scale.
