all purpose flour in hindis is nothing but plain maida This flour is used to make a wide variety of food items like puri, chappathi, parotta, etc. Maida is sometimes referred to as "All purpose flour".In India maida is used to make pasteries and other bakery items like bread,biscuit,toast " from Wikipedia so therefore a definite YES - - - but one suspects the All-Purpose Flour in Canada to be cleaner and more prone to produce white bread whereas the Indian variety may be coarser and closer to whole wheat in texture & flavor.
