I always thought Canadian and American pilots were interchangeable anyways, I've known many Canadians flying for US carriers, think one I knew was a former Snowbird team member as well...never saw much difference except maybe the use of the expression "eh"...

Well I am a US citizen, living in Vermont who flew for a Canadian carrier , out of Montreal for 32 years. The pilots I flew with said I had developed a New England accent..At least I could understand the Boston and New York controllers. as in., "You got the GW?..follow the Hudson".
As far as Canadian competency goes, I flew with highly trained pilots. One, a Canadian F/O, who on an exchange program with the US Navy, was
carrier qualified, on the Hornet. Another F/O I flew with, did an exchange program with the USAF, was qualified on the F-15, and served with a Squadron in Alaska.
