Dear Moheed
You know US market is not good these days. As CGA one may get TN job visa to US. They usually accept Canadian designations and experience. However, CPA is always most preferred one in States. You may register yourself at various job banks or with recruiters. You may find jobs at careerbuilder.com or monster.com etc too. You would have to go there for job interviews. If you have Canadian passport then things are easier, otherwise I would suggest to wait till that time.
Under normal conditions, US employers do hire people from Canada too, but you know they have many more laid off people these days. If you are Canadian Citizen then you only need an offer letter from US employer, then you go to US embassy or US immigration at the border, provide all the documents and offer letter. Usually they give TN visa for 1 to 3 year renewable term, within which your US employer would apply for H1 visa for you. After which you wait for few years to apply for green card.
If you are not Canadian Citizen, then you must have to get H1 directly, as TN is only for Canadian Citizens (and also Mexican, under NAFTA agreement).
You may google for further details.
I hope it helps.
Regards
