Studying and working in Canada

Hello, I am a spanish guy and nowadays I am studying nursing in Norway. In January I am coming back to Spain and I will start the private pilot license, wich will take me some months.

After finishing my nursing studies in half year, I would like to follow my studies for becoming a pilot, doing CPL, ME, IR.

Currently it is nearly impossible finding a job as a pilot in Spain with 200 flying hours, so I am planning a different way for getting my goal.

I have thought about travelling to Canada and doing time building after ppl, maybe next summer or next year, and after finding a good school, studying CPL, ME, IR...or what I choose there.

I would like to try to get a job as a pilot there, some people have told me that it is easier than in Spain, where it is almost impossible as I told.

Do you think it is a good idea? I supose I could work for one year with the permission as a student, or maybe getting a visa after as a nurse...

What flight school would you advise me for doing time building, follow studies and get any job, if it is possible?

Thanks a lot.
Warm regards from Norway.
