Unless you have finished four years of high school in Canada (which it seems that you have not, since you had already completed 'O' Levels) you will have to show your 'O' Levels transcript along with your high school transcript and diploma. To the best of my knowledge, the IBCC needs a complete record of your secondary school education.
The 'O' Levels transcript will have to be an original.

Do you have a 77% overall for high school or only in the subjects of English, physics, chemistry, and biology? Your overall percentage in high school does not matter really -- its your percentage in those four subjects that determine your Equivalence Certificate score.
As far as how competitive it is, you should search the forum for the admissions lists that have came out for the government colleges of Punjab this year and you can see the equivalence scores required on SFS/PTAP in order to get admission into certain medical colleges. Also, searching the forum will help you find a ton of information about how the placement process works.

I believe that you are not eligible to apply under PTAP or SFS because one of the requirements for eligibility in PTAP is that you have a foreign passport and for SFS that you and your parents both have a foreign passport.
If anyone has some more information on this, please feel free to chime in.
