I m B Com(H) from Delhi University and know just basics of computer....I want to ask that what field I should pursue Accounts or IT and further what course or courses should I do so that I could get a good start in Toronto. I m also open to other fields if doing some good homework in India could get me a good job. Is CCNA better or some other course in Accounting or any other non conventional course or any other certification? I have about one year from now to move to Canada.

Accounting and Finance are very strong right now particularly in the larger cities. Check out the following :

the second link has been created by the Federal government to provide online resources to people who are new or moving to Canada. I would suggest do as MUCH online research as you can now before moving.

Pay and career wise IT is much better than Accounting..
Try to do your M.com in india so that you get more credit points . Because B.com of india gets less credit points then Canadian B.com.
After you come here try to do M.com or CPA then you will get a job.
If you don't do further studies in canada you will end up in the labor jobs loop

My advise is you better stick to your core strengths - Accounting. Building a career in IT from scratch with just knowledge of basics could be a disheartening exercise in Canada.
Accounting is no fun either. Loser is right I think. You will still need to come here and get your certifications to get a good job.
As an accountant you will probably do CGA, CMA or CA after landing in canada.
Yes M Com is a good idea or you could complete CPA , USA before landing in Canada. This will give you straight access to Level IV and above in CGA.
Also I noticed that you said you know basics in computers. What ever job you do, what ever qualifications you have, especially for accounting i would strongly suggest that you get proper and strong not only certification but practical experience, knowledge of advanced level in MS Excel and MS Access.
I have seen good indian CA's suffer as they are strong conceptually but due to lack of good excel skills, ( Running macros, V lookups, etc) they are unable to adapt to the jobs here. These excel skills will help you a lot when you are starting entry level jobs while doing certification.
Trust this helps.
