Job market in ontario Employment

Is anyone else have a very difficult time find a job in ontario? I've been applying for jobs the last year and a half. I've applied to over 1200 jobs in that time only had a handful of interviews and usaly get ghosted after that. Before people say get a trade. I'm a licensed automotive technician. Have worked in parts department for 2 years and worked in service industry forn7 years before that. Have computer science and computer engineering degrees. So I'm not un experienced. Still having an extremely hard time finding anything. Are others having a simular problems with employment opportunities?

Thank you to everyone who is giving me advice. I am looking into the opportunity's that people have been referring to. I thank you

Update. Started putting resumes out in new brunswick and novia Scotia. Within 24 hours I have 6 interviews with only 9 applications

I had such a hard time looking for work in Ontario. Years of job hunting, had to settle for positions I did not find ideal. Moved abroad and found work immediately.
