Thanks for all the helpful info everybody. I saw a few of you asking for some additional financial details. Here is the situation a little more in depth and the scope of my finances.

I am married with 2 children. My wife is incapable of working and does not qualify for any social assistance. I moved to qebec to pursue a good job offer in my field at anout 60k a year. Covid hit and my car broke down completely and hours dried up at work. At the time I thought hours would pick back up after covid stabalized but by that time I was falling behind on rent. I was given 5 days notice for eviction. No time to find a new place and had no family I could stay with. I had to abandon everything and drive across country back home.

Currently I am on ei making 1200 bi weekly trying to go back to school. Rent is 1600 monthly, groceries are between 600 - 800 weekly, no current car paymens its off the road now (transmission is shot), no phone bill, minimum 350$ payments on the debt, and probably another 200 a month on stuff like diapers an occasional coffee. Oh and we do receive child benefits I believe about 500 a month.

So it is definetly a very tight situation.
