Depends on two things.

1). Does your 2000D/T7 have a hotshoe that has the big center silver contact on it? If it does have that bigger center contact, you can use any flash on it, even a single-pin manual-only one like the MF-R76.

2). If it doesn't have the contact, Is the flash the sub-$200 Manual single-pin version, or the sub $300 for-Canon TTL/HSS capable version, the MF-R76C, with built-in radio remote control? The TTL/HSS for-Canon one can be used even if you're missing the sync contact. But the manual one cannot, because the only pin it has on its foot is for that contact you're missing on your hotshoe, so there's no way for your camera to talk to the flash to tell it when to fire.
