Can someone explain me why a pilot need in Canada this mountain course? Is it a question of insurance, better job chances or is it prohibited to fly in mountains not holding such a course?

In Switzerland a pilot is not allowed to land in mountains above round about 3500ft don't having such a mountain course. 200 approaches at least 20h, really expensive.

Does someone know if the swiss course is convertible to canadian rules? Could not find in the CARs such a point "foreign mountain licences".
