Are they closer to fide or uscf ratings?

So if a player is 1400 in Canada it's like 1200 in the U.S.?

They're almost the same, maybe about a 30 point variation.

No, IF the 200 point inflation is true, then over a large number of players it will be true for the average.

There will be large individual  variations, though, some players will have a higher US rating, some will have a higher Canadian rating, and some will be the same. You cant make a prediction for an individual.

Well, I noticed SebLeb had a 812 Canadian rating so I was wondering if he was about that level on the uscf scale. harryz, what's your canadian rating?
