My suggestion is to get a JAA (european license).
JAA does NOT mean a better school, don't get me wrong but passing from a canadian or FAA license to an JAA is really HARD and expensive. Vice versa it seem easier. There are schools in USA that are allowed to give european license and, if i recall, a couple in Canada too...
Having both license give also double chances to find a job and i am aware of companies around the world that require a JAA ticket even if they are not based in europe...
