Can TOEFL be submitted instead of IELTS for a study permit to Canada?

[Nashra]

Hi, I have given TOEFL and got score of 82/120. I was not aware that in Canada Visa application IELTS is required. I am applying to the Queen's University Canada. Can I submit the same score to the study visa application, won't it get rejected because of my toefl score? Is there anyone who got rejected for submitting toefl score?

Applicants have been approved with English proficiency other than IELTS.

Thanks @dahal1 for ur quick response but while I was applying through SDS yesterday, I see in English proficiency they are particularly giving in drop down IELTS and one more french test that's it. If I would select IELTS and then give toefl score card won't it be a problem for my rejection?

For SDS stream, only IELTS is accepted. For general stream, other English proficiency can be accepted.

Hi, I am applying for a study permit in non-SDS or regular-stream. I have only appeared for TOEFL and my university has also accepted me by this only. Since TOEFL is not a designated test agency, I choose the "No" option in that question. I will attach my TOEFL score in the additional information section.
Am I doing this correctly? Or should I say "yes" to this, which is officially not correct?
