Hi, aakash raj gajula‌, 

If you want to redirect to the Canvas Mobile app through a web browser or a web-based LTI, you will need to use the Canvas Mobile URL schemes found here: 

Android and iOS 2.0 Mobile App API Documentation - Instructure Tech Blog 

For example, instead of linking to an assignment which would produce a URL similar to: 

https://example.instructure.com/courses/:courseID/assignments/:assignmentID

You would use the canvas-courses URL scheme: 

canvas-courses://example.instructure.com/courses/:courseID/assignments/:assignmentID

Here's an example of it in action from a webpage:

This might require some re-engineering of your LTI, but this is the way to do it. Hope this helps!
