You wouldn't go to the border. You would follow the process to claim asylum from within Canada.
Is Roxham road still open?

Again the question is why you did not claim in the UK? Minister may intervene in your case, provided you still have valid visa. In your refugees forms, there is a question on how you arrived in Canada and where did you transit. Secondly, you dont need to go to the US border, you can apply at the airport if your intention is not attending conference but claiming refugee...
What we are saying is that it will be much more difficult to win your case since you are coming from the UK. So your plan has a low chance of success.
I am not sure that will help. If you return to your home country, this could raise doubts about your claim. I believe the minister could also still intervene with questions regarding why you did not claim asylum in the UK since you had the opportunity.
Is there a reason you are not making a claim in the UK?
I just want to be in Canada. I applied for the Canada visit visa to attend a conference in 2021 but I didn't get response then I applied to study in the United kingdom and after getting my study visa in June and I got passport request in July. I was totally confused because I have already booked my flight before I got my passport request letter from Canada. And there is nothing I can do about it because I ask for refund from my school. So I am trying to know if I can go to Canada after my one year program in UK. So I am looking for a way to Canada.
A refugee claim in Canada will likely be problematic for you. Consider applying for PR through an economic immigration program like Express Entry instead. Ultimately your choice of course.
Wanting to be in Canada is not a good enough reason to justify why you couldn’t claim asylum in the UK and has to claim asylum in Canada. Claiming asylum, even if approved, has serious consequences. If you get denied asylum and are removed from Canada then you will struggle to visit, work or study in many other countries. If you get approved you will not be able to visit your home country until you get Canadian citizenship. That is typically 5-10+ years for most people and mostly 7+ years. As already indicated you should be looking at economic pathways to come to Canada either to get permanent residency, a work permit, etc. This may take some time but you will have a much better chance of actually being able to stay in Canada. What is your home country? If you were able to get a study permit for 5e UK you are unlikely from the countries where asylum claims are approved in high percentages like Eritrea, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.
