Wouldn't be rare for someone in Québec to ask "Comment tu t'appelles?" but it's generally understood that this is "colloquial" French, whereas "Comment t'appelles-tu?" is the correct way to say and write it in French.

It's generally better to learn the "correct" language before you start applying colloquialisms.

French people say « Comment tu t'appelles ? » even « Tu t'appelles comment ? » very often in spoken language
