Last year when my kids were applying to schools they were told by more than one out of province university that they scale/factor marks from the provinces in order to equalize them as much as possible. Alberta students were 'boosted' compared to other provinces. There didn't seem to be any disadvantage that we could distinguish. The universities aren't stupid, they can track entrance marks by province and compare to how the students perform when they get to university and from there can compare grades from different provinces fairly accurately.
