You couldn’t claim asylum in Canada from Egypt and the UN resettled very few refugees around the world. The only way to try to claim asylum in Canada is to get to Canada and claim asylum.

It's possible. However it's generally very difficult to find a church in Canada to privately sponsor you unless you already have a connection to a church in Canada through family or friends who live in Canada.

The role of UNHCR is to recognize you as a refugee.

It typically takes many many years to be referred to another country. The most likely outcome is that UNHCR will settle you in Egypt and not refer you to another country.

If you want to enter Canada to claim asylum here - then you will neen a TRV (tourist visa). To be approved for a TRV, you will need to show strong ties to your home country and also show that you have enough funds to pay for your visit to Canada. It's fine to use the TRV to claim asylum in Canada - this isn't a "lie". However you may find it quite difficult to get a TRV approved.

In Canada? Fastest is through a TRV (visitor visa) and then coming to Canada and claiming asylum once you arrive. Anything else is going to take years.

my reason for aslyum is that i can show or practise or tell my real religon in public because it may threaten my life is that considered a legall reason to seek aslyum ?
 
Will be honest that your Yemeni passport will make it incredibly difficult to get a TRV. In terms of resettlement through the UNHCR there is a huge demand and very few spots because countries are receiving many asylum seekers by land or countries have reduced their quota like the US. Think 1% of asylum seekers may get resettled so the chances are pretty low. If you have friends or family in Canada willing to pay for your resettlement that is the easiest way to get to Canada although it is still a little nag process. If you manage to get to Canada alone on a TRV it will take a minimum of around 3 years to reunite with your spouse and children if you have a family.
