For top universities like the University of Toronto, the minimum academic requirement is typically in the range of 75% - 85% or higher, while competitive programs like Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, etc. often expect 80 - 90%+ for a strong chance of admission. For other Canadian universities, especially mid-tier ones, the requirements can be more flexible, often around 65% - 75%, depending on the program. It’s important to understand that the required percentage is not a fixed cutoff. It varies based on the course you’re applying to, its competitiveness, and the overall applicant pool. Also, universities don’t look at marks or percentages in isolation. Factors like your academic consistency, marks in relevant subjects, SOP, LORs, and work experience (if applicable) can significantly influence the final decision. So even if your percentage is slightly lower, a well-rounded profile can still make you competitive.
