Anas,
I’m impressed with your achievements in O’and A’levels. My suggestions are based on the following scenario:
1) If you do BS in Accounting and Economics(both), you’ll be equipped in pursuing your career as an accountant and further studies in economics(msc or phd). Contrary to it, if you do undergrad in economics only, chances are low to place yourself in finance/accounting firms as you’ll be competing with other majors.

2) According to U.S rule, you’ll qualify to sit for CPA license as you’ll have 158 cr hrs by the time the degree is complete. I’m un-aware of uk and canadian rule. Since CA/CPA is a license, you need to meet minimum standards before your employer sponsor you for the exam.

3)If you intend to pursue degree in economic than I highly recommend not to quit your studies after masters. Economics degrees are meant for Phd route in most of the cases. Only then, you can truly feel the essence of being an economist and your voice will carry weight.

Having said all that, my suggestion would be to go for undergrad in accounting and economics. In this way, you’ll have more options what to do after undergraduate.
