It's a bit sad to learn that Canada is not doing that well in terms of aviation, and that its taxation is so unfriendly. Had the impression that it was a nice country to be in, but I guess it is no longer the case.
If you wouldn't mind me hijacking your thread a bit ...
I'm from the EU, and I don't have the legal right to work in the US. In any case, I decided to have a go at getting an FAA ATP Certificate, given that I'm not doing anything, and can spare the dosh for it.
To the best of my knowledge, the process starts with a License Verification by the FAA of the foreign ATP. After that one has to do an ATP CTP course, then the ATP Written Knowledge Exam, then the ATP Practical Exam.
At this stage I have the ATP CTP + ATP Written + FAA Class 1 Medical.
Keeping the fingers crossed that the US might come to allow other nationalities than just Aussies ...
If it happens that it will not be the case ... then it is always an experience, and one other license.
Lets see how things evolve ...
All the best.
