Asylum seeker in the US wishing to move to canada

[Maddiesol]

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to address our issues. I am in the US with F1 visa. I applied for asylum in the US but after the election of trump things have been very bad. I don't have a close relative in Canada but living here is becoming very scary and I fear I may be harmed if I stayed here. Can I drive/walk to Canada explain the situation and may be they will grant my asylum? Please help.

Short answer is no.

You'll be denied due to the Safe Third Country Agreement.

Look for a means to enter Canada...only declare your intention when you're already in Canada.

Yes, it's difficult to seek Asylum from U.S.A...but not impossible. You will need the services of a lawyer once in Canada.
