I really need a job in less than 2 months, because I’m being kicked out of the house in 2 months.

I am also a 20 year old university student currently studying Computer Science, and half of my tuition is already being paid by OSAP, which means that I’ll need to pay around $2k for it.

I also don’t have any prior work experience, but I do know Linux, C#, C/C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript (but nothing advanced like React or SQL or game development), and Java. I also don’t have any prior projects of my own that I can present in my portfolio. After looking at the job market for programmers, I figured that I’m probably not yet skilled enough to apply as a web developer or sysadmin.

I have also asked my school if they have any open positions for something like a TA, but I’m still waiting to make an appointment.

I have also sent out a few resumes to places like Starbucks and Walmart, but so far I haven’t gotten any interviews yet.

My GPA is also like 2.3, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to apply for grants with that kind of a GPA.

I also have my social insurance card with me, so will I be able to get any insurance with it?

I’ve also been hearing on the news that the job market in Canada is being flooded by immigrants, mortgage and rent prices are crazy, and food is also crazy expensive, which really worries me.

I’m also totally stressed out from this.

    Fuck whomever is kicking you out like this. Do they think this is the 70s?

    My advice would be to find a temp agency and get an assignment from them. They hire anyone and you’ll end up in a factory or warehouse for 20 bucks an hour.

      I did a bit of work for ABL in Vancouver, the west coast guys were really shit…
      That’s not to say that the Toronto guys are too, but of the bunch of temp agencies I worked with ABL was in the worst 3.
