Likely your only realistic option at this time for applying for refugee status in Canada is to obtain a TRV (tourist visa) to Canada, fly here, and claim refugee status when you arrive in Canada. Unfortunately given your status in South Africa, your chances of getting a TRV approved are likely close to zero. To get a TRV approved, Canada will want to see that you have strong ties to your home country, have sufficient funds to pay for your trip and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term.

If you cannot get a TRV approved, then you may want to look leaving SA and going to a different country - and then being recognized as a refugee by UNHCR once you are there. UNHCR will then decide where you will be permanently resettled. The vast majority of refugees are resettled in the country where they already are.
