American in Canada

Hi I was just looking for some advice...

I've been looking online and it looks like AirCanada is hiring at 1000TT. I'm an American pilot and perhaps early next year I will be moving up north to Canada and was wondering what the odds are of me getting hired by a Canadian carrier. From the research I've done It seems to transfer my licenses I just need to take the Canadian air law exam and a checkride? Is this accurate.

I already have the flight time now but will be going into the ARMY RES. and will be gone until November, but after that I'll be in search of a job. I'm not sure how the Army will react to me living in Canada but I wouldn't see it being a big deal since its Canada and I'll probably be shooting for Montreal or Vancouver...

Anyways how hard is it for an American to pick up a flying job up North?

thx in advance
