Introduction from Vancouver - Confused about my direction

I am completely unsure as to what direction I should take, I am from Vancouver, Canada. IB internships/careers are practically non-existent here... I have connections with several senior partners at one of the big 4 so i could go the CPA route. I want to do IB much more than accounting though. How useful would a CPA designation be if I wanted to do IB? I know it would be useful if I went to corporate finance... Help!

Thanks!!
