Hello,
Thank you for your question. Since each case is examined individually at the BAMF, we can unfortunately not make any statements about the chances of an asylum application.There is a difference between the residence titles. The right of asylum is directed at recognized refugees according to the Geneva Refugee Convention. Here is a brochure from the German government that explains the whole asylum process in more detail.

As a Canadian citizen you can enter Germany without a visa and apply for your residence permit in Germany (find more Information here: https://***.make-it-in-germany.***/en/looking-for-foreign-professionals/entering/visa-requirements)
There are different types of German residence titles, depending on the length of stay and the requirements you meet. Basically, three residence titles allow you to stay in Germany in different ways.
- Temporary residence permit
- Residence for the purpose of gainful employment / seeking work
- Residence for family reasons such as marriage
The requirement for the residence permit must be proven. Here is a summary I found on German-Visa
https://***.germany-visa.org/immigration-residence-permit/german-residence-permit/
- Have a valid passport from another country,
- Not have a criminal record,
- Be proficient in German in at least a B1 level,
- Have German health insurance,
- Pass a health check which proves you are healthy enough to work and/or study,
- Be financially stable and support yourself and your family,
- If you plan on working in Germany, you will need a letter from your employer with the job offer and description,
- If you plan on studying in Germany, you will need proof that you have been admitted into a university,
- If you plan on joining your spouse in Germany, you will need proof of marriage such as a marriage certificate.
I hope it can answer your questions. We will be happy to help you with any further questions
With kind regards
