Canada coordinate systems
238 EPSG coordinate systems used in Canada. Choose a state or region to see its systems.
The 238 EPSG coordinate systems for Canada are based on NAD83(CSRS), NAD83, NAD83(CSRS)v6 and NAD83(CSRS)v2 and other datums. Projections used: UTM (Transverse Mercator) (109), Transverse Mercator (98) and Lambert Conformal Conic (16). Coordinates are in metres. UTM zones: 7N, 8N, 9N, 10N, 11N, 12N, 13N, 14N, 15N, 16N, 17N, 18N, 19N, 20N, 21N, 22N, 23N and 24N. Together they cover 38.2°N to 86.5°N, 141.0°W to 40.7°W.

Questions about Canada coordinates
- Which coordinate system is used in Canada?
- 238 EPSG systems are defined for Canada, on datums such as NAD83(CSRS), NAD83 and NAD83(CSRS)v6. Use the one named in your survey report or drawing; the EPSG code is the safest way to identify it.
- Which UTM zone is Canada in?
- Canada is covered by UTM zones 7N, 8N, 9N, 10N, 11N, 12N, 13N, 14N, 15N, 16N, 17N, 18N, 19N, 20N, 21N, 22N, 23N and 24N. Pick the zone by the longitude of your site: each zone is 6° wide.
- How do I convert Canada coordinates to latitude and longitude or Google Earth?
- Open the system's page below and type an easting and northing into the converter, or paste a whole spreadsheet into the free web app and choose the system by name or EPSG code. Save the result as KML or KMZ and open it in Google Earth.
- Are Canada coordinates in metres or feet?
- All 238 are in metres. Enter the numbers in the unit of the system you choose; each system's page shows its unit.
