Canada is basically reliant on immigrants to do menial labour. We import many of our skilled workers too:

Right, that's my point. "Thousands of jobs available" tells basically a fraction of the picture. There might be thousands of jobs available, but that does not mean they are available to
anyone without a job. If certain predictions come to be, the disparity between available jobs to skilled workers and unskilled workers (technically formerly skilled workers who have been made redundant) will grow.
The question of "why do we need UBI when there are so many jobs" is as silly and simplistic as asking why we need EI, or retirement income, or other government supports for those who can't work, when there are so many jobs.
Really, why do we even have EI or pension plans when there are so many jobs? Shouldn't that money go towards retraining younger works and requiring older works into menial jobs?
