Newbie Canadian looking for advice - where to get liberal arts degrees?

[Cdnbackpacker]

Hey everyone, I just stumbled upon this and it is amazing but somewhat complicated. I have 30 credit hours at my local university but due to lack of money had to drop out. Just got back from teaching ESL in China and I plan on doing ESL for many years so I just want a BA to get around visa requirements. I like history and English so liberal arts would be easy. Should I start taking straighterline and Uexcel courses before registering? And would excelsior be the cheapest for international students? I'm completely new to this and could use a helping hand.

Thanks so much for any help you can give
