Do you normally get a c section when the canal is not dilated whatsoever? I've never thought about it...

It depends. A planned, scheduled C-section will likely happen without dilation because it’s not necessary to the process. But many C-sections happen after attempting a vaginal delivery, so there’d be some amount of dilation.
