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.

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.
