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. For a credit-weighted multi-course result, use the WES iGPA calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do Iran grades convert to the Canada system?

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 Iran grade do I need to study in Canada?
It depends on the programme, but a strong upper-tier %s result (roughly a US 3.0+ equivalent) is competitive for most master's programmes; selective and funded programmes expect more.
