So because I don’t have a skill you deem valuable I must starve and labor for the rest of my life just to survive?
The median wage in Canada (https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/foreign-workers/median-wage.html) (54k /year pre taxed in ON 42k /year post tax) bairly covers basic cost of living (https://www.savvynewcanadians.com/cost-of-living-canada/) (31k /year though this could be higher based on city,and I don’t know how much to trust this source, though it seems accurate based on my expenses).
Rather than focusing on yourself, if you raise everyone else up, making living easier for all, you too will benefit from it. (Infrastructure, social security, public transportation…)
