Just let me ask whats your opinion on doing the reverse.....from Europe EASA licence to Work in Canada??????

Safe landings

Let me just jump on that one....

Your license does not matter-yes, you will need a local license as well (which is sometimes easier, sometimes more difficult to get-depending on the country).

The one thing that usually kills it is the work permit / work visa.

Canada and the US are usually countries where an operator requires the pilot to come with both-a work permit and a local license.....the companies usually do not assist the pilot in getting a work permit at all.

No work permit-no work.
And it can take months getting a work permit (let alone the expenses to get both done; work permit and local license conversion).
