Am a transgender woman in Nigeria my neighbor find out am trans on social media since then have been receiving death threats
My life is in danger
I'm sorry for your situation.

It's not possible for you to claim asylum in Canada from Nigeria.

You would need to obtain a TRV (tourist visa) to Canada, fly to Canada, and then claim asylum once you are here.

I would hire a good immigration lawyer in Canada to help you with your case before you apply for asylum. Your case is complex since you are married and have a child. There is a risk / danger that it may be perceived you are fabricating your story to obtain PR in Canada. A lawyer will be in the best position to assist you in putting your case together, assessing if you have the evidence needed, and telling you what your chances are of success.

Have you looked at all into the Express Entry economic immigration program to see if you qualify? If you have the right education / work experience, that would be a much faster path and pretty much guaranteed (if you have enough points to be selected).
What are the possible evidences one can provide for such claims

It depends on the specifics of the claim. You might be best off consulting with a lawyer if you are not sure.
