I suggest you do this as the first thing: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/ … s-tool.asp
Use this tool and see how many points you get. If points are close to 450, consider moving ahead.

Any University not in WES list is not recognized and will not be. Especially, the online degrees will face tough times in recognition for the next many years.
