You aren’t a refugee if you have refugee status in a safe third country. Your claim would be rejected.
You could, however, look at immigration to Canada if you are eligible.

Your first post indicates you have refugee status.

Hello is refugee with a refugee status from another country allowed to seek asylum in canada?
What country are you from and what country are you currently in? Do you have a passport? An invitation from your friend is irrelevant. You will need either a TRV or an eTA to get to Canada. Both will require you to disclose your status in the country you currently reside in. If you can obtain a travel document, you can claim at the airport. Whether it is accepted or not will depend on compelling. Evidence of your claim against both countries and your status as a refugee claimant or a refugee in your current country. Be aware, if your claim is rejected, they return you to your country of origin.

Can anyone with an asylum seeker paper claim asylum at the airport of canada
Anyone can apply but whether you are accepted or not is a completely different matter.
However, your biggest concern is even getting to Canada, as it is unlikely that you will be able to obtain a Visitor Visa.

“If” your claim was rejected, that means they don’t feel you are a genuine refugee and the would send you back to your country of origin. That’s just how it works.
As explained, you can claim at the airport when you arrive. Whether your claim as a refugee is accepted, it’s impossible to say.
Your biggest issue will be obtaining a TRV to travel to Canada. As you are already a refugee claimant and residing outside of your country of origin, it is unlikely IRCC will issue you a TRV to travel to Canada.
