I am surprised, that you as accountant had difficulties finding the job. Any Classified in any newspaper/online starts from tens accounting positions. I just quit my nice job in Canada. And since I am here, they are asking me to come back and take over this position again. It was a good administrative position, where I could apply all my multiple skills. And it was good paid. Here they only know low paid secretaries. An "office manager" is offered QR4000 and small room in shared accommodation. And even in this case the Company is not in hurry to carry out the obligations according to the contract. In Ontario an office manager/executive assistant can afford buying a house, or at least a decent apartment. And of course can very easily afford renting the nice independent flat.
Not to mention, that Canada - is FREE country. In any possible way.
