US vs. Canadian GPA

[deleted990107]

Hi all,

As an American, would I need to convert my GPA for Canadian clinical psychology Ph.D./Psy.D. applications? I've heard elsewhere that there's an emphasis in Canada on percentages, which don't show up on my transcripts. Is there an official scale that I can refer to? Google hasn't been very helpful and I'd love to hear the perspective of former American applicants to Canadian programs.

Thank you!

The scales vary between universities in Canada. As an example, here is the conversion table for universities in Ontario. Unfortunately, I do not have information about systems outside of Ontario, but I hope that provides a good starting point. Otherwise, a graduate program administrator may be able to help.
