You would need to secure a TRV (tourist visa) and then claim asylum once you arrive in Canada.

Thank you so much but do i have to secure a TRV (Tourist Visa) right here in Nigeria before any other process ? I really want to know my first step please.

Yes, if you want to claim asylum in Canada, the only way to do it is to fly here and claim asylum.

You can move to another country and register with the UNHCR but resettlement to Canada is not guaranteed and chances are extremely slim.

Also because of COVID, you can only travel here If you have family and even then you need written authorization. Processing is over 9 months and many Nigerians are denied TRVs because they claim asylum when they arrive.
