The COMC is the principal qualifier for the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO). Top Canadian students at the COMC are invited to write the CMO. Canadian students close to this top tier are invited to write the second-chance qualifier, called the Repêchage, to attempt to secure an invitation to the CMO.
This year, the cutoff scores were 57/80 or more for an invitation to write the CMO and 53/80 or more for an invitation to the Repêchage.
Awards are not offered in categories listed below where participation rates are very low or where scores are below the cutoff score of 40/80.
Note:
The medians and means shown in the tables below refer to all competitors in the category, not just the award winners listed.
