Another piece of advice I'd give - IT unemployment in Calgary right now is down around single digit %'s I believe, or maybe less. Find a good IT company, and talk to their recruiter - start to build a relationship now, with a goal you are working towards, and timelines (even if they are a couple years out). Keep in touch with them as you progress on training. Those kinds of connections are a huge leg up vs the massess of certificate wielding resume pushers once you get closer to entering the workforce.
