Don't be discouraged by something like "the economy". People are always moving in and out of jobs so theres room for you to slip in.
I would say if you arn't confident with interview skills. Practise them! Find a friend and role play. Record yourself so you can see where you can improve.
Second, improve on your resume and cover letter skills. Did you ever take co-op in SFU? Its okay if you didn't. PM me and I'll send you some resources.
Lastly, don't consider your situation a disadvantage. Its a great story you can put on your cover letter or share with your employer. "even thru great hardships, I am able to work thru them" One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from co-op office was to turn every weakness your strength.
Good Luck!
