Unless the rules changed recently I don't think there would be a huge issue entering Canada as an engineer as an EU citizen provided you had the offer first.
The issue in Canada for someone wanting to be a development-type FTE (or TP, for that matter) is that Bombardier does all it's dev testing in the States, so the canadian elements of the company would really be more likely to look for the production test types - where generally you don't have much if anything in the way of FTE involvement, since the testing rarely justifies it.
