How do I make a refugee claim from inside Canada?

According to Steps to Justice, you submit your claim through the IRCC online portal, answering questions about yourself and uploading travel and identity documents along with a completed Basis of Claim form. An immigration officer then holds an eligibility interview to decide whether you can proceed, though that officer doesn't decide whether the claim itself succeeds; if you're found eligible, the next stage is gathering documents and preparing for a refugee hearing. Steps to Justice notes it's a good idea to get a lawyer or licensed representative to check your eligibility and review the documents before filing. This is general information, not legal advice.
