Canada...foreign education and foreign degrees?

Where do I go to find out if my degree is recognized by Canadian Employeers? The degree I am studying for is a Computing and IT Bachelor's degree. I intend to specialize in web services using Java. What additional certification will I need or is useful in landing a job in that field?

Also, after finishing University I intend to go on an Internship program overseas for over 1 year, possibly longer. My best wishes is to do it in Canada but I might have to do my Internship in the USA. Will this experience in the USA be recognized by Canadian employers?

The reason I ask is because I have read and heard stories on the Internet about Employers not placing any value on foreign qualifications as high as a Ph.d. This worries me because I don't want to have to spend 3 - 4 additional years acquiring the same qualification because Canadian employers only want Canadian qualifications.
