Yes - you can claim asylum when you arrive in Canada.

To be approved for a visitor visa, you will need to show very strong ties to your home country to prove you have no plans on remaining in Canada long term.

You should be aware that you need to show that you have moved to a different location within your country to seek safety. If you have not done this there is a good chance that you will be denied asylum.

Thank you Canuck78, my case is that I'm presently working in that hostile environment and can't get a job in other locations in my country. Do I have a chance ?

You don’t get to make up your very best chance at asylum. You need to research economic programs like express entry to figure it out.
I am naija and I know the situation in jos is critical. Get a visiting Visa and claim asylum once u get in . Takecare
