Universities Using This Scale
The following universities use the Canadian 4.33 Scale for calculating cumulative grade point averages.
What is the Canadian 4.33 GPA Scale?
The Canadian 4.33 GPA scale is used by many Canadian universities and differs from the US 4.0 scale in one key way: an A+ grade is worth 4.33 points rather than 4.00. This allows students who consistently earn A+ grades to achieve a GPA above 4.00. The full scale uses letter grades with plus and minus modifiers — A+ (4.33), A (4.00), A− (3.67), B+ (3.33), B (3.00), B− (2.67), C+ (2.33), C (2.00), C− (1.67), D+ (1.33), D (1.00), and F (0.00). Note that some Canadian universities still use the 4.0 scale, so always verify your institution's specific policy.
What is a Good GPA on the Canadian 4.33 Scale?
A GPA of 3.7 or above on the 4.33 scale is generally considered excellent in Canada and makes you competitive for graduate admissions and top employers. A GPA between 3.0–3.69 is considered good. Most Canadian graduate programs require a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B average), while competitive programs like medicine, law, and top MBA programs expect 3.5 or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions
A 3.7 GPA on the 4.33 scale is excellent — it falls between an A− (3.67) and an A (4.00) and represents roughly 88–90% marks. It is competitive for graduate programs across Canadian universities.
No. The Canadian 4.33 scale allows for A+ grades above 4.00, while the US 4.0 scale caps all A grades at 4.00. When applying to US schools, a Canadian GPA of 4.0 is roughly equivalent to a US GPA of 3.85–3.9, depending on the conversion method used.
A common approach is: US GPA = Canadian GPA × (4.0 / 4.33). So a 4.0 Canadian GPA ≈ US GPA of 3.70. For formal applications, use WES evaluation or check the target university's conversion guidelines.
No. While many Canadian universities such as UBC, University of Toronto, and McGill use the 4.33 scale, some institutions use a 4.0 scale or percentage-based systems. University of Waterloo, for example, uses a 4.0 scale. Always check your specific university's grading system.
Most Canadian graduate programs require a minimum GPA of 3.0 on the 4.33 scale (B average). Competitive programs in medicine, law, engineering, and business at top universities like UofT, UBC, and McGill typically expect a GPA of 3.5 or above.
