No, Canada only allows a max of 100hrs as PICUS for the 250hr ATPL requirement and it's a full bureaucracy to even get those 100hrs at company (and they require to already have a minimum 150hrs PIC). Canada also does not count any helo PIC towards ATPL (even though they do to convert to fixed wing CPL, hence how I ended up with only 35hr fixed wing PIC).
