If I don't get PR visa, can I take a bachelor's exam and pursue a course in Canada?

Yes, you can pursue a bachelor's degree in Canada even if you don't have a PR (Permanent Residency) visa.
You will need to apply for a Canadian study permit (student visa), which allows you to study full-time at a recognized institution. The study permit is separate from PR and is specifically for your education.
There is no special "bachelor's exam" required before applying. You just need to meet the admission requirements of the university or college for your chosen program.
