Grading System in Canada

Canada’s academic grading system typically uses letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) alongside a 4.0 GPA scale. However, scales may vary slightly by institution or province. Below is a general overview:

  • A+ = 4.0 (90–100%)
  • A = 4.0 (85–89%)
  • B+ = 3.3 (77–84%)
  • B = 3.0 (73–76%)
  • C+ = 2.3 (67–72%)
  • C = 2.0 (60–66%)

Key Notes:

  1. Some institutions use a 4.3 scale for A+ (e.g., McGill University, University of British Columbia).
  2. Percentage ranges may differ by school (e.g., an A might be 80–89% at some colleges).
  3. D grades (1.0 GPA) are often considered minimally passing, while F (<1.0) indicates failure.
  4. Colleges and universities may use alternative systems (e.g., percentages only, pass/fail for certain courses).
