can someone give me some advise

hey guys. Im an accounting students in a Canadian university (u of a) Im graduating in the end of 2015. I need some advise for my career development.
I dont have any accounting relevant experience yet since I am a transfer student and didnt get in the coop program. I dont think I will have any odds successfully get in a big CA firm when I graduate.
So here is what I think. I will try to get some accounting experience next academic year like doing some part-time bookkeeping or AP or something. And I need to pass the uniform AICPA exam when I graduate. Since this is ideal for me. But I wonder if just passing the CPA exam will give me much assets to land a job in Canada.
My second option is to go to the states for a macc specialized in tax thus I might be valuable for broader tax job. My ideal schools are Uw foster mpacc-tax and Umn Carlson master of business taxation coz they are close to Canada. I have talk to my parents about this but seems they are not in favor of me about going to US right away after graduating. And another problem is that I will only have a three year work permit after I finish in u of a and a master degree in states will at least cost me one year and a half, let alone the money.
Can anyone give me some advise? If its really good to take the uniform cpa exam, which state should I choose? And How do I plan my final year?
Many thanks in advance and wish everyone get a decent job!

for the final year, get more internship. AICPA is not that hard to pass. it can wait. But the experience in accounting field can be very useful when you hunt a job
