sjg,
I did some further investigation on your question by contacting a friend of mine who is
VERY familiar with all things college-aviation related. I'm afraid he doesn't think there is any connection between non-US college av programs and eligibility for an FAA rATP since these programs are geared toward getting their grads set up for employment in their own countries. He did allow that he can't say for 100% sure that such affiliations don't/can't exist but doubts they do. If they did, I'd expect them to be on that FAA list of rATP programs I provided before.
At least as a Canadian license holder, getting an FAA ticket is pretty easy:

Wish I could offer more encouraging news. Best of luck to you.
