Either you need to get to know someone on the inside or you need to work your way up. You can work for Immigration but you will need to be bilingual in at least one additional language. There are many jobs out there. You can be a letter carrier then work your way into the higher paying positions. You can be a bus driver. These last two are unions so you can't get fired unless you really mess up.
Through college I knew a few people who worked with the government. They just "applied". You need to go to your local civic centre and see what types of jobs are available for students. They always offer something - it's all a matter of whether you are qualified. I worked in the post office (federal job, not necessarily a "government" job) and I worked inside the depot. I wasn't a carrier who were paid about $3 less per hour. I worked 4 hours a day and made just under what I made as an entry-level employee at my subsequent "career" job (the one I went to school for).
