Hi Every One,

We are at last stage of our VISA process, so I think it is right time to plan for life in Canada. We will be moving to Calgary in 2014. I have few questions for those who are already in Calgary and especially in bookkeeping/accounting profession.

-Is it good idea to do some online courses from Canadian Virtual University? Will employers take these courses into account before deciding who to give job to? If yes, are there any specific courses any one can mention?

-Are these short term courses helpful if some one want to pursue degree courses after this?
