ICAO Canadian ATPL to EASA conversion

Hey everyone,

I'm a relatively fresh pilot here in Canada. I got my Commercial MIFR and will have about 500TT by october, mostly single piston engine pic time. I have a 3 year diploma from a reputable aviation program.
Well I keep hearing how great it is flying on the other side of the pond, and being a Czech Rep native, I am really interested in moving back. From what I have already reasearched I will need to convert my Canadian CPL to a JAA equivalent, which isnt easy or cost friendly. I have the motivation, but no heavy financial backing.
SO Im stuck.
Are there any aircarriers In Europe willing to help a pilot with the conversion process?
Would I be better to wait until I obtain my Canadian ATPL?

I would really like to pursue an aviation career in europe, but it seems less and less likely.
help.
