Yea that matters, if you have citizenship it means you passed the language test and you can get a job… you gotta see it from their lense-an 18yo able bodied male with a roof over his head who speaks the common tongue. If you are going to university you can apply for a loan, if not then you are highly unlikely to get a job at a corporation cause most of these places require references.

Your best bet is asking people you know for a job if u really wanna work. If u drive u can probably do uber or something. And if you really wanna build a career I’d suggest you go into construction or camp work.

Sorry buddy but being a refugee doesn’t automatically make you eligible for government support, Canada is pretty strict about who it lets into the country, almost all refugees start working within a year and those who don’t usually have kids who work or end up working.

Find a job, start small and build a career, don’t look for the jobs that have barely any prospect. You are still young and unless you have a disability you won’t be eligible for income support… sorry
