The CPA certificate does not assure you a job. Studying for the CPA Exam may help you out with knowing GAAP, but most entry level accountants probably don't know much about GAAP. Leave that up to the seniors and managers on the job.

Do you have any connections that could help you get a job at a public accounting firm? It may be harder to get a job if you're from outside the country, but you seem to know English well. Just try to establish some sort of connection with a firm.
