Econ courses are not history – they are classified as a ‘g’ course by UC. You do not need a year of US History as an International, but you do need two years of history per se. (One year of Canadian history will count.)

btw: UC also requires a VAPA course, which trips up many from outside of California…

However, if you don’t meet the a-g requirements, you can also qualify for UC by testing alone – many internationals and home schoolers qualify this way.

For grades, on your application, you would mark “Other” grading system, and enter your actual grade. UC admissions counselors who are familiar with Canada will then review.
