Training and possibly moving to Canada

Hi there,
I'm a student pilot from the UK, currently studying for my PPL with the intention of becoming a commercial pilot. I'm currently looking into all of the possibilities for gaining my licenses, and the one that I am considering the most at the moment is doing my training in the US and ideally to immigrate and there. However, it seems that it is virtually impossible for a Brit to get US Citizenship, so it's out of the question.

So, this brings me to Canada. How difficult would it be for a Brit to do commercial training in Canada, and once completed to gain Canadian citizenship so that I could live and work in Canada. The reason that I would like to work in Canada is that I see that there are many jobs on light aircraft, which is the kind of flying I would like to start my career with.

Also, what's the employment situation like for newly qualified low hours pilots (under 500tt) in Canada atm?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
