What Province in Canada is good to try for Accounting jobs?

[whimsical]

I have got CRS of 434. But the lowest CRS as of yet is 450. So i guess, i have to be at the mercy of a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

If you are good accountant you will get a job pretty much anywhere... but well.. the bigger the city the more opportunities are there.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

"the bigger the city the more opportunities are there" Yes, makes sense.

What did you mean by "good accountant" .. i m yet to get my CPA, but have 7 years experience on accounting field, would you deem it as good?

Moreover, can you throw some light on the prospects on accounting jobs in Canada, i mean, is it a in-demand profession?

thanks a bunch for your time.

Go for Ontario Provincial Nomination. Once you create your EE profile and if your points are 400+ then, as the Ontario Nomination will start you will get Nomination Invitation within one or two weeks.
