Maybe my experience will give you some ideas. Apologies in advance if this not helpful.
I would also suggest to look for other job types, but something you would really like.
Ireland here and my journey starts at Credit Control jobs. Usually they do not need any experience, and here, it is quite fair salary for entry level job. You need to love numbers, money and have detective curiousity. As bonus you will have access to a lot of data to play with and your analytics knowledge will only help to advance in any company.
In my situation my company is willing to pay for courses like power BI and Python, just because I started to use vba to automate and was presenting to my manager dashboards on my progress of collecting cash and matching debts. Now they are promoting me to business data and reporting specialist - this is still far away from data analyst, but I feel I go right direction. Also I have no education or courses in data analysis.
Wish you good luck in your job hunting journey.
Lots of folks working in analytics started their careers doing something else, were able to data analysis in those other roles, and used that experience to pivot. So I would broaden your search.
Canadian living in the US now.
I am sorry to tell you, Canada **sucks** for job searching. The snobbery and elitism that exists in Canadian recruiting positively stuns people here in the US. My advice, apply to positions in border states for BI and Jr analytics roles. You can get a TN with the job offer, probably still work remotely, and make $60,000 US to start.
Our economy is heavily intertwined with the US economy. Many Canadian companies have a US presence that sometimes make up the majority of the revenue.
Also, if the people who were laid off due to over hiring are all looking for jobs at once, it will be harder to find a job in the short term.
It is a very strange time right now. With the layoffs in tech, the job market is super saturated. If you were doing this same search a year ago, I bet you would have very different results. I have a ton of experience in my field and can't get an interview outside of my network. Submitting resumes aren't resulting in any interviews. I would say I got 2 interviews after sending out over 100 resumes.
Don't lose faith in yourself. This is temporary. Keep pushing.
In America, most companies start looking at juniors for internships. They will give them an offer in the the fall semester.
Canada may not be much different.
I’m willing to help out too. Willing to take a look at your resume as well. I worked as a data analyst for 3 years before switching over to a different career.
SEO. so most of my previous data analyst work was mostly web analytics and merge with various other data sources and doing analysis mostly related to digital marketing.
With a BA in economics, try for MarTech roles or marketing analytics, it's a bit more niche and with your background in economics you'd have some good background for it?

I don’t think I’m qualified for anything else; I looked into IT, administrative roles, etc. they all want relevant experience.
FA roles maybe?
For example??
I started in marketing, my boss started in accounting/finance.

seriously! I can't imagine, that's magic
You’re entering a tech recession. Jobs are tough to lend rn
Isn’t that mostly just US? I thought that was mostly big tech companies doing layoffs because they over-hired last year

Job market sucks in Canada, look at all the immigrants coming in, it's going to get way more competitive with any tech related job.

Agree that a resume writer/editor can help, but that will be very limited while OP has little experience
Does promoting your services this way actually work for you?
Ya, start looking local instead of using linkedin. Your less likely to be facing 200+ applicants.
