Does Tuvasa The sunlit ability resolves before he gets removed. Consider that he’s already on the battlefield I’m on my main phase and I move to cast my first enchantment per turn to trigger his draw ability my opponent targets him with removal and do I still get my draw considering that I already declared my cast and revealed that I am casting an enchantment?

You will still get to draw. As soon as you cast your first enchantment, Tuvasa's ability triggers, and from there, the triggered ability is independent from its source. It doesn't resolve before Tuvasa gets removed, but it will resolve even if Tuvasa isn't on the battlefield anymore. If your opponent wants to prevent you from drawing by killing Tuvasa, they need to do it before you're able to cast your first enchantment spell.
Edited-in bonus: Even if Tuvasa isn't on the battlefield yet and you need to cast him first, you can usually get at least one draw from him in the face of removal if you have an enchantment to cast and enough mana. Once Tuvasa resolves and is on the battlefield, provided it's your turn, you have priority (the right to cast spells and activate abilities) before your opponent, and provided it's your main phase, you can use that opportunity to cast an enchantment spell and trigger Tuvasa before your opponent can do anything.
