I couldn't find a NTv2 file for transforming GCS NAD83 to GCS NAD83(CSRS) so I'm trying to create a custom transformation using the 'Create Custom Geographic Transformation' tool in ArcMap. The tool seems pretty straightforward but I don't know what transformation method I should use.

I'm using ArcMap 10.3 and am working in UTM zone 11N (in BC) if that is useful at all.

    Is the data in Alberta or British Columbia? Generally, you need to contact the provincial geodetic agency to get NTv2 grids.

    BC has published a bunch. Look for their MASCOT utilities. Once you agree to their terms, you can download the gsb files.
