You have two options.

The first is to obtain a TRV (tourist visa) to Canada, fly to Canada and claim asylum once you are there.

The second is to be officially recognized by UNHCR as a refugee and then be referred by UNHCR for resettlement in Canada.

You would apply for a tourist visa (TRV). The chances of approval are likely quite low. To be approved, you need to show you have strong ties to your home country / country of residence and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term.

Realistically you probably have no chance to get a visa to Canada, since you have no ties to home country and a visa officer would suspect a very strong chance you are only applying to claim asylum here. However you can always try and see what happens. You'll need to show you have funds available to support your "vacation" in Canada and that you'd return after your status expired.

Assuming you can't get a TRV, you'll need to apply to UNHCR, get recognized as a refugee, and see what country you can possibly be resettled to. Note that it could be any safe country, not just Canada.

you may get UNHCR in india but i dont think you can transfer to thrid country any more. I have a friend who hold UNHCR card in 2008, but he never send a third country and he had 2 time interviewing. so dreaming to live in 3rd country with india UNHCR will be hopeless option for you. Try the tourist visa once and try your luck.
