Topic: IB to Canadian Equivalent - Gr 12 - Questions

shismi

Hi

My son is presently in Grade 11 pursuing IB Diploma from Mumbai, India. We plan to relocate to Canada in May (we have our COPR).

We have written to the Public schools in Mississauga and Toronto area who offer IB Diploma, but none of them seem to be offering Physics HL or Maths HL or both.

He plans to continue his Gr 12 from the next academic year subject to our following queries being clarified.

1. While migrating from the IB system to the Canadian system would his grades be converted to a certain equivalence or would they be the same as it is in the IB?

2. After grade 12, while applying to the Canadian Universities or colleges: How do the universities or colleges compare the academics of a student from IB to a student from the local board. Are their marks/percentages/grades considered on par or is there a conversion?

Kindly do clarify this - based on this we have to decide whether he will continue his grade 12 in mumbai and then come there for further studies or complete his grade 12 in Candada.

Thanks

Regards
