No - not possible.

You cannot select the country where you are resettled. Either UNHCR or Spain would have to select you for resettlement in Canada.

You can only be granted asylum once so you couldn't claim asylum or ask for resettlement in Canada. If your family moves to another country and is declared a refugee by UNHCR they can ask for resettlement but the chances are very low and can take decades. Your best bet is to try to get family reunification through Spain.

You might be able to get a visitor visa. The chances are low without citizenship but each case is individual. If you have strong ties to Spain like a job, property, a family in Spain to return to, savings, etc you may be approved. Also would depend on they reason for your visit. You can apply to be an economic immigrant if qualify based on your education and skills. That would be the only way to move to Canada.
