I recently moved across Canada and the place that I'm in doesn't have a huge amount of work options. I also do not want to end up homeless and need a source of income. I've been looking for work local but honestly dealing with people face to face stresses me the almighty fuck out. Working from home has never been an issue.

I'm just in a situation where I've got basically no work experience for the past couple of years. I'm trying to find work online in Canada but I don't know where in the fuck to start. Stress levels are pretty stupidly high at the moment too and I'm just trying to figure out something.

you start a spreadsheet of possibilities, coming up with some target list (a librarian can help with this) company/contact info etc, and you reach out to them with 2 phone calls and 2 emails each, telling them youre available to help out remotely and ask if they would like to discuss it. sounds like you could mention business development or following up on quotes or collections etc.
imagine you've hired yourself to get you a job. if you're desperate, take the first offer you get, and then continue to keep looking while you can now say you're currently doing x but looking for opportunities.

be proactive, thats the secret sauce people are looking for.
