Distance education -advice!!!

[beeep]

Hi, all, anyone interested in distance education from Canadian school same as I am? Or anyone had similar experience on it??? I'm interested in immigrating to Canada, also want to improve my knowledge in Financial field. But I'm working and not ready (because of experience points, money preparation so on) for applying to move to Canada, so I came up with this idea that distance education from a good Canadian university might be good for me. How do you think??!!
       But what I want to ask all/any of you is, if definitely this kind of Bachelor degree, Mater degree... is recognized when you looking for job in Canada? And also does this counts as 'studied in Canada' when you do the PR calculation of your points??  Any ideas, please share with us! Thank you all in advance, and good luck!

These are are just my opinion guys, do not take it granted!

For distance education Canadian embassy will not issue you a visa to come to Canada.
There are many scams out there about distance educations, so be careful while selecting the institution. You may select a renowned university that has regular programs, courses and also conduct distance education.
I guess they will not count you that have studied in Canada for the distance education degree.
In future for job, this may help you partially, considering that you have obtained your degree from a well established institution.
