To study in Canada, the percentage required typically depends on the level of study (undergraduate or postgraduate), the chosen course, and the specific university or college. Here’s a general guideline:

For Undergraduate (Bachelor’s) Programs:

- Universities: Most Canadian universities require a minimum of 70% or above in your Class 12th (higher secondary) exams. However, some competitive programs or top universities may ask for 75-85% or higher.
- Colleges (Diplomas/Advanced Diplomas): Many colleges accept students with 55-60% and above in Class 12th. Some programs may require higher percentages.

For Postgraduate (Master’s or Postgraduate Diploma) Programs:

- Universities (Master’s Degrees): Typically, a minimum of 65% or above in your bachelor’s degree is required. However, competitive programs may ask for 70-75% or above.
- Colleges (Postgraduate Diplomas/Certificates): Usually require a minimum of 55-60% or above in your undergraduate degree.

Important Points:

- English Language Proficiency: In addition to your academic scores, you must meet language requirements like IELTS (usually 6.0–6.5 overall, no band less than 6.0 for universities; some colleges may accept 5.5 in one or two bands).
- Some programs (engineering, health sciences, etc.) may have higher percentage requirements.
- Backlogs: Some colleges/universities allow a limited number of backlogs.

Tips:

- Requirements can vary significantly between institutions and courses.
- If your percentage is on the borderline, you may still have options in certain colleges or through pathway/foundation programs.
