Hi Hv you selected any particular university for your course? There are few universities which have the criteria of CBSE four year English (Grade 9 to 12) at under grad level. But TOEFL/IELTS/PTE are still recommended to hv a better chance of getting an offer.

You cannot get admission in any Canadian university or college without taking the IELTS test. Your IELTS score plays a very important role in the admission process.

Universities and colleges in Canada need IELTS or TOEFL or in some cases, PTE. Without the English test, it is not advisable to apply for Canada even if a college is offering this option to you.

IELTS. is to prove your English proficiency. For admission and also for Visa purpose you need IELTS. You can not proceed without IELTS marks of minimum 6 band. If you can't do IELTS that means you are afraid of your English and if you go to Canada without this it will be very difficult to survive.
