Well, first. Pray. And I mean it. God will guide you and provide. He will lift you up. Never underestimate the power of prayer.
I was 35, broken. Physically unable to do my job to a hypothetical retirement age. Ended up going back to school and having a much better life through prayer and hard work.
Since you are starting from scratch its actually easier. Figure out what you WANT to do. Set your sights on it. If your not sure. Take note of all the things you would like to have in your life and find a living that works with it.
That is something most on earth never get a chance to do after learning what this world is. They are stuck where they are and cannot change much or lose everything. You get to write your own future.
You will have to start small and you most likely will have to find something to get you by till you figure out what you will do. But sitting here at 45+ and having carried a family through a similar situation, I think you will be fine.
Given the area you are headed to it seems agricture is primary. Look into employment services to have a stream coming in and every night after work start planning your future.
Always trust in Christ. And never give up on yourself.
Know you are worthy of his grace and mercy …. Because you are (dont believe it, KNOW it). Quit feeling sorry for yourself and show gratitude for your life. Not the life you have now. The life u are gonna ask the Lord to help you build. Know that God hears all prayers, because he does. Literally ditch fear and doubt. Adopt the “if it doesnt happen then fukit” attitude. 10 times a day spend 10 seconds recognizing the beauty in something/anything you see, hear, touch, smell. Everything counts. Do this intentionally for 10 days. You will still be doing it in 10 years. When you realize you are swimming in an ocean of miracles and beauty you cannot help but have perpetual joy and faith. That is the recipe for synchronicity. The universe will have no choice but to manifest into reality those things you seek.
Also on a prep note. Ill have time tomorrow to get a little deeper into what you could look for in the imediate future. So, what did you do in the forces?
I was an aviation systems technician on a maritime patrol fleet. I have no civilian accreditation, I can’t get a job in the industry regardless as transport Canada is following the vaccine mandate.
This is going to sound stupid to you, it does to me. but I’ve lived and worked in the same base, in the same city for my entire adult life. I need to get out and get back to what I come from. I grew up in a tiny town. I just feel the prairies calling me and I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than work on a farm, doing honest work. I don’t like hearing myself talk like this because I know how it sounds but at the end of the day, I need to get out of here
Aviation systems tech sounds like a high demand skill. Find a small town with a private airport and make friends. Hell, head north to the Yukon and work on bush planes for cash under the table, the ultimate adventure. Those damn mandates only enslave the big cities and big corporations, here in the US at least plenty of self employed and smaller companies saying piss off to that crap. The further you get away from city centers the less these "mandates" are enforced. If Canada is anything like the US, off-grid networks of businesses are being created out of necessity that cut out the middleman.. aka the government and health authorities.
Also,with a truck, see if you can get into basic truck stuff. Jink hauling, trash hauling, shotgun deliveries etc. Lots of self reliant money can be made with a truck.
No that does not sound crazy at all. Had a friend who was similar role in US Armed Forces and he did the very same thing. You have a huge leg up just knowing what you want to do. If that is where the Lord is guiding you. Dont deny it. Embrace it and set your mind and heart free.
Finding local work should not be too hard and you should have a good amount of mechanical kowledge. I would look into market farming and see if any of it sounds like something you are interested in.
US or Canadian? Not being cheeky, but advixe would differ depending on citizenship.
Canadian, advice would be appreciated thank you

Research and decide what you want and go for it!

Did you like doing that type of work? May be worth getting something to tide you over and work out what you'd prefer to do long term.
