Dear Amirr
If you land in Ontario, after a year you can get OSAP Ontario Students Assistance Program loan for any kind of studies including MBA.
Your MBA, if recognized, makes you elligible to find a job in CA firms. But practically speaking due to competition and foreign degree with non-Canadian experience, chances to secure a job in CA firms are low. Still, you can try in industry for accounting jobs.
Before landing here, you can start ACCA, CFA, CMA(IMA), CIA, CISA etc. and after landing you can start Canadian MBA or local accounting designations.
If you really wanna come in accounting field after immigration, then I would suggest for ACCA courses before landing, as you can get exemptions for CGA based on courses you completed in your MBA (if recognized) and ACCA. But this suggestion assumes that you wanna enter in accounting field in Canada.
As you have MBA in Finance, I would also suggest you to study for CFA rather then ACCA. CFA is quite famous and well regarded in Canada/USA both. Though it is little difficult, but certainly has better prospects.
I hope it helps.
Regards
