Volunteer at an office, do their books, or try to learn to. Small accounting firms don't give much attention to prior experience. Industry does though. During tax season join tax clinics and learn about ppl's returns. I know for sure UBC has student clinics. You don't need to be a student but probably would help if you're closer to the student age group.
Also connections dont do much unless they have influence on the selection process-- ie: they are the interviewer, controller, partner etc. Lol so what if you got friends in high places... As the boss I wouldn't give a shit unless I need to fill that placement asap.
From personal experience, I find placement agencies aren't so good for juniors looking for their first big break and are better for seniors looking for their second job.

Sounds like you have quite the work experience.
May I ask where you worked?
