I'm planning to immigrate to Canada soon with my common law partner.

Here's my situation:-

Im 34, currently working as Costing Manager. Im at my final stage of CIMA. NOC should be 1112. I could finish the finals, get accreditation from Canada Accounting Board as CIMA have some agreement with them. However, when I check for express entry, unless I have a job offer (which is impossible). Im not eligible to apply.

So my current option I have at hand is

1) get a accounting degree at Canada and continue work from bottom up. I doubt my CIMA will get me anything

2) Change profession. Im interested in Dental Hygienist. The cost would be CAD60,000 excluding lodging. taking an accounting cert would be around 30,000. so double the cost. However the pay between this 2 will also be the same.

Any advise?

Don't like Australia
US too many crazy shits
Canada seems nice. As far as I know, the government might be more or less the same as Malaysia. cost of living also about the same. standard of living should be higher?
