Anyone else do this from Canada?

For Canada, you can ladder your McMaster Accounting diploma by taking an extra year at McMaster or a community college and transferring those courses to Athabasca U in Alberta.  This will allow you to get a Bachelors of General Studies, Concentration in Applied Studies (90 credits).

You can do that - but you won't get a degree. 

The McMaster Accounting Diploma is 33 credits. I just checked again to make sure. A year of Uni is 30 credits - and a year of Community College (here) is worth --- um, whatever the individual Uni you're applying to, says it is. Maybe 30 maybe less depending on multiple variables. So your Mac diploma is 33  and your F/T year is 30 max. So - still at least 27 credits short of your 3-YEAR Bachelor's - and you'll need a FOUR-year one (or at the very least a BUNCH of extra courses) if you're heading for Grad School.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLAN. 

McMaster is a good school - I live in that town and I've completed 2 programs (night school) there. But they don't do loaves-and-fishes miracles like the one you propose here. Only One Man does - and He's not been seen in these parts for quite a while. And as the OP said - Athabasca is extremely expensive.
