Getting a job in the EU isn't as easy as you all appear to think, especially with 250-300 hrs.
I would suggest becoming an instructor in Canada, whilst doing the distance learning. Then after 1000hrs total finish converting to JAR. On that note converting to JAR is way more expensive than doing an FI rating, especially with 250hrs. With that TT you will have to do the full JAA instrument rating. I believe that with >700hrs you only have to do 'training as required'.
The rules may have changed. check out LASORS on the UK CAA website for a more definative answer.
Whatever you decide to do - enjoy it!
