Canada is certainly not an "FAA" country. If you want to work here, quite apart from getting a work permit, you will need to write the exams and fly the flight tests..... The flying hours will be credited, as long as you haven't logged and PIC time at the same time as anyone else. Am not completely up to speed with the FAA regs, but they used to allow both pilots to log PIC if they were qualified on the aircraft. Transport Canada -and most other regulatory bodies - will not accept this.
They have a pretty informative website
