Unofficial estimate for planning. Different systems mark differently, so we map achievement level (not raw percentage). Official applications need a credential evaluation.

How the Canada system works
Canada uses an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA): WES Canada, IQAS (Alberta), ICES (BC), CES (Toronto) or ICAS for admission, and IRCC-designated bodies for Express Entry.
Is it competitive?
Most Canada master's programmes look for the equivalent of a US 3.0+ (an upper-second / good average), with competitive and funded programmes wanting more. Convert first, then check each programme's stated minimum. The France grading scale page has the grade table behind this estimate.
Frequently asked questions
How do France grades convert to the Canada system?
We map your France grade to a US 4.0 equivalent, then into Canada's own scale (Canadian %/GPA) using standard credential-evaluation bands. It's an unofficial estimate — see the table above for the full mapping.
Is this an official conversion?
No. Use it for planning and shortlisting. Canada uses an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA): WES Canada, IQAS (Alberta), ICES (BC), CES (Toronto) or ICAS for admission, and IRCC-designated bodies for Express Entry.
What France grade do I need to study in Canada?
It depends on the programme, but a strong upper-tier France result (roughly a US 3.0+ equivalent) is competitive for most master's programmes; selective and funded programmes expect more.
