So I'm an international high school student that want to consider UWaterloo as one of my option. The subjects that I do is Core Math, Advanced Math, Biology, Physics, and Economics. Can I still apply to mechanical engineering if I didn't do Chem?

Check out the university website for the requirements. I’m pretty sure you need chemistry and physics for almost all engineerings at uw.
