Is IELTS/TOEFL mandatory for visa if English is not my first language?

Hello,

I'm applying for a one year bridging program with U of T. The program requirements state that either English should be my first language or English should be the medium of instruction for my graduation university. The latter is true and in fact I have studied in an English medium school, all my life.

Is there a specific visa requirement that makes it mandatory for me to give IELTS or TOEFL even though my designated learning institution is not asking for it? I will be a applying for a study permit for this course.

Thank you for your help :)
