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 United Kingdom grading scale page has the grade table behind this estimate.

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