NAD27 / UTM zone 8N

Canada - British Columbia. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9112 (default) [grid]
Canada - New Brunswick. , accuracy 0.8 m, code 9238 [grid]
Canada - Quebec. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9239 [grid]
Canada - Saskatchewan. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9886 [grid]

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: QUE27-98.gsb

Remarks: Also found with file name NA27SCRS.GSB. Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD27 (code 4267) and NAD83(CSRS) (code 4617) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate CT NAD27 to WGS 84 - see code 1692.
