Canada conversion reference table
Canada uses a percentage / 4.0. These mappings follow common credential-evaluation practice, but every institution sets its own policy — always confirm with the receiving school.
| US GPA | Canadian percentage |
|---|---|
| 4.0 | 90–100% (A+) |
| 3.7 | 85–89% (A) |
| 3.3 | 80–84% (A-/B+) |
| 3.0 | 75–79% (B) |
| 2.7 | 72–74% (B-) |
| 2.3 | 68–71% (C+) |
| 2.0 | 65–67% (C) |
| 1.0 | 55–59% (D) |
| 0.0 | 0–49% (F) |
How to read it
Find your US GPA in the left column; the right column gives the closest Canada equivalent (percentage / 4.0). Conversions are approximate.
Canada grading culture
Canadian universities report grades as percentages first and compute a GPA only for internal or scholarship purposes, and there is no single national scale: a school in Ontario and a school in Quebec can each call 90% an A+ yet attach it to a different GPA point value on their own transcript key.
Common conversion pitfall
Because every Canadian university publishes its own percentage-to-GPA table, running a mark through a generic scale like this one can land a few tenths off your actual school's official conversion — use your own registrar's table for anything with real stakes, like a graduate-school application.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Canada conversion?
No. Universities and evaluators (e.g. WES, ECE) apply their own formulas — treat this as a guide.
How do I get my US GPA first?
Use the GPA calculator for one term or the cumulative GPA calculator across your degree.
Why are conversions only approximate?
Grading scales differ in shape and meaning between countries, so any mapping is an estimate.
