The fastest way into the European market is to get a job on a N registered Aircraft operated privately in Europe. There are quite a few of those actually. As a prior poster mentioned, when converting, it may be easier to do so through the UK system.
(There is of course a rumor that Canada is contemplating becoming a full EASA member, which would mean that if you were to get a Canadian license issued, the path would be very easy. )

Corporate aicraft in Norway---the best bet would be Sundt Air in Oslo. Airlines in Scandinavia do not as a Rule demand a scandinavian language unless they are SAS or some derivative of that, it would however help you imensely to learn one. Some of the other operators in Europe, especially Corporate ones, are willing to give commutable rosters for work, i.e. 7/7 or 14/14, so that opens up even more possibillities of where to work, Netjets is one example.

As with anywhere, experience is silver, luck and being in the right place at the right time is gold. Get the hours, and keep churning, if you really want to go Scandi, there is nothing stopping you.

Good luck
