>>126840314>seeking asylum is not illegalNo, but "seeking asylum" isn't "going to the very best country I can reach because of the civil war in mine," it's "going to the first country that my family and I will be safe in." It has a very strict legal definition. If you live in, say, North Korea, and your family wouldn't be safe in China or South Korea, but they would be in Japan, you cannot go to Canada and claim asylum. You have to go to Japan.
