Right now I'm currently a grade 12 student who lives in Canada. I would really like to study computer engineering in the States but I haven't taken my SATs yet. This is because an event or incident always comes up that disrupts my plans of taking it. I plan on signing up for the November, December and January tests dates.
Will that be enough or should I just give up?
Take the SAT and apply to schools you believe you'll have a good chance at. Virginia Tech maybe if you have good academics. Application deadline isn't until January 15.

Fall Quarter
Submit application, test scores and transcript by 2/1* (postmarked).
Regular Decision notification mailed by 3/15.
I'm in the same position as you. Well, I did take it the first time back in May, but my scores were horrible. I'll be taking the Nov, Dec, and Jan tests. If you are applying for Regular Decision, they usually will accept the Jan scores too.
Well, most of all, it just depends on the college(s) that you are interested in and their deadline(s) for scores and test dates. There are a few colleges that also have "Rolling Admissions" where they accept applications throughout the year. Have you really looked into what college(s) will give you the best opportunities for what you're passionate about?
Btw, never give up. "Believing that you can makes you win half of the race." "You miss every shot that you don't take."
