- Yes, it's possible to claim asylum after 7 years in Canada. You will want to make sure you have strong evidence of what has recently changed in your home country that makes an asylum claum necessary now. This needs to include evidence of how you are being specifically targeted by these new threats (vs general country conditions).

Country conditions are more crucial than specific threats. If someone has threats in stable country, members in the hearing will argue that the claimant has internal flight alternative and can move to safer regions within the country. Applicants from war torn and unstable countries have high approval rate for asylum.
