Minimum wage is 16.65. After taxes etc that will earn you $2135 a month but a one bedroom apartment in a city will cost you $2500 a month. Then add groceries etc on top.

There are opportunities, I owned a business in Toronto for 15 years and I always needed hard working people.

You can probably find some cash work or gig work on the side which will save you on taxes and help you make ends meet.

Depending where you are living now, as difficult as it is to make ends meet in Canada right now, it might still be much better than your situation.
