As far as I understand the CAO point system, it's basically the same, just using aggregate points instead of outright percentages. But ultimately, it is also just percentage system in disguise.

True, but the relative point system between entry is something that is very different. Arts isn't seen as inherently worse in Canada because you need a 78% to get in, but they also don't publish the numbers. I think it was all just word of mouth stuff, although it's been awhile.
