When graduate admissions committees in the US or Canada hold their first meeting, do they usually already have a shortlist of students? Do they already make offers after the meeting? Thanks!

If I am an M.Sc candidate who's about to graduate this semester and I am applying to a Ph.D. program in Canada or U.S., what GPA will be considered in the selection process--my undergrad GPA or my M.Sc GPA? My grades for my MSc cover all coursework except for thesis (which anyway is only graded with pass or fail). I am worrying because I only have a 3.1 GPA in my undergraduate degree but a 3.5-3.6 for my M.Sc. Thanks in advance guys!
