If you can do the Canadian route, then try it. As a low-hour newbie it will be very hard anywhere in the world. In Europe, you almost definitely have to pay your way into that first job, whereas in Canada it's more based on merits, i.e. flight hours racked up in the bush (low pay still, so it's basically the same thing as paying
)
First question will be though, can you get the Transport Canada Category 1 medical? If that's no problem, then having either an FAA or TCanada licence will almost automatically give you the other one as well: it's been for about a year now that you can easily convert FAA>TC and vice versa, by just taking one or two small written tests. No flight tests involved and in the end probably the cheapest conversion process in the whole world
What you do need, however, is that TC Class 1.
And most importantly, don't ever give up if flying is what you really want to do. But don't sell your soul if you know what I mean
