Those marks look like they're definitely good enough to get you in. As far as I know universities (at least in Ontario) only look at grade 11 marks for early acceptance and some scholarships. Don't worry, you should be fine.

I really don't think you should be terribly concerned with how you did in grade 11 - like I said, those are only looked at for early acceptance and some scholarships. As far as acceptance goes, you need only worry about your top six grade twelve marks (and those required by the program).
