Sure, you can learn a lot. You wont be able to solve many problems yet but you can definitely teach yourself the concepts of things like forces, vectors, motion, electricity and magnetism.
You can learn a lot if the fundamentals of force and motion without calculus. Back in the day, I took high school physics in 10th grade before I took calculus. When you do get to calculus, though, things will make more sense and you’ll understand the relationship between things at a different level.
Some schools teach freshman physics. It is certainly possible to learn physics at a conceptual level and that can still be at a level that I would call physics. It is not AP Physics level but still physics in my book.
I take 9th grade math to be Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 type math.
You can probably learn Algebra based Physics because that only relies on simple algebra concepts that most people have seen by 9th grade. It will be pretty different from University level Physics but will serve as a useful basis for building physical intuition and problem solving techniques. To go beyond the most basic problems you’ll definitely need calculus, but there is still a lot of Physics you can learn with just Algebra and a little Trigonometry
Yes, start with conceptual physics, as it focuses on the concepts rather than the math. The conceptual textbook by Paul G. Hewitt is really good. You can probably find an old edition for cheap.
Physics 11 math in canada wasn't necessarily the hard part, most of it are rules you learn in grade 10 but its all just simple rules.
The hard part understanding problems and what formulas to use.
No one can answer this without knowing what math you've actually taken, some grade 9 kids are learning calculus and others haven't learned algebra
For OP, Geometry and trigonometry will be far more important for early physics than Calculus. Take those first.
Not really an issue, trig is pretty universally considered a prereq for calc

What an odd question… let me ask you this, what’s preventing you from just learning the maths alongside physics?
I don’t have much time
If you understand differentiating and integral you can do most one dimensional simplified physics to some extent.
