My kid just applied to schools in Scotland, Ireland and Canada. 
Canada: No AP's needed for McGill or UBC (or Toronto). For McGill there are GPA and SAT cutoffs you need to hit. 
Scotland: some schools required AP scores (Glasgow, Edinburgh) and they need to be 4s at least. St Andrews did not, but that is major dependent. I think STEM majors may need AP scores. 
English schools: require AP scores and they need to be 5s for the most part. 
Ireland: no APs needed. For all of those schools SAT was important and so was GPA. [/quote]

Does McGill really expect a 4.0 unweighted?!?!

From their website "MINIMUM A, 4.00 GPA, or equivalent unweighted average over last two years of full-time studies, and a minimum score of 730 in each SAT test or a minimum composite score of 33 in the ACT test and/or rank in top 1% of class."

That's for an entrance scholarship not admission. For admission cut offs look here, they differ depending on the Faculty (Arts, STEM, etc.) you apply to. They update them every fall based on the class they admitted the year prior. https://www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/apply/requirements/us[/quote]
