Is FMVA certificate enough to get hired at an entry position?

Hi I am a international student in Canada (first year student), and because of financial problem I am not being able to continue my study at University. So I am trying to find internships and get an decent amount of experience and collect respected certificates then hopefully find a job without undergraduate degree. Is this possible? I would appreciate any advice from you guys.
