Pilot engineers - advice please

Hi, Does anybody out there know if being a licensed engineer with a fresh CPL has a decent chance getting into a flying job in Canada?
I've gone the long way round (7.5 years) to prepare for getting in the door and am finally ready to venture out and see where it takes me. I have a NZ Cpl (160 hrs) with sling and night but all on an R22, Will be looking at a B206 or MD500 rating soon but not sure which to do.
Also which is the most recognised/useable eng licence A&P or Canadian CAA? NZCAA licences mean nothing to anyone worldwide.
I know there are probably a hundred threads like this here but I would really like to hear from a Pilot engineer that is out there doing it now.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
