Unless you have immediate family in Canada, you cannot claim asylum at a USA-Canada border due to the Third Safe Country Agreement. If you want to claim asylum, you will have to do so in the USA since this will be the first safe country you will reach.

You cannot transit through Canada without having a Canadian transit visa. Having a US visitor visa isn't sufficient.
