CAN I APPLY FOR REFUGEE STATUS OUTSIDE CANADA?
No - not on your own.

You would need to be outside of your home country and be recognized as a refugee by UNHCR. You would then need to be sponsored through either a Group of Five sponsorship (if you have family or close friends in Canada) or by a Sponsorship Holder Agreement organization.

I don't see the refugee process being an option. Individuals from Dominica aren't refugees.

You will need to research Canada's economic immigration streams like Express Entry and qualify based on your work experience, education, language skilled, etc.

You can certainly express your desire to be resettled to UNHCR but you can't specify a country. In reality a very small number of refugees are ever resettled.
