U are better off moving to Toronto, because the public transit is better..
I would suggest Etobicoke or Scarborough both have good accommodation at reasonable cost and also is connected by frequent buses/subway..

Markham is a good place only for people who have their own transportation..


Call center jobs are difficult to find in this economy..

For survival jobs Tim hortons/factory jobs are ur best bet..

Good advise by Iceberg. Also, don't live in a basement , nothing worse than being at the mercy of the landlord jumping on your head. No windows will only increase yoour miserty.
