Your GPA is way to low for Canadian schools, but if you have US residency/citizenship, then yes your grades convert to B- (70's)to A-(80) or A
So you're right-your GPA to apply to the US seems much higher than the Canadian scales we use.

I am a residence for the US and a Canadian citizen, so my gpa is good to go for US med schools if I stay consistent with 80+? I go to waterloo

Your GPA might convert over OK for AMCAS but if you're a Canadian citizen your options for med school become pretty limited.

does this also affect US opportunities? i live in the states but study in Canada.

I was referring solely to US opportunities, actually. Only 60ish schools allow foreign nationals (Canadians, specifically) to apply. On top of that, most of them accept one or two at most per cycle. Since your stats are not off the charts, it'll be tough.

He mentioned he has US residency, so he wouldn't be considered international. However, he might not qualify for any specific state residency.

What is the general percentage for med schools in Canada? I am a residence for the US and a Canadian citizen, so my gpa is good to go for US med schools if I stay consistent with 80+? I go to waterloo

You're golden. Just do well on the MCAT and you're good to go. Also at an ON school, similar quality to waterloo, and myself and all most people getting 80-90% found the MCAT science was pretty do-able by comparison. So I think you'll be good
