Go to the FAA website and look up the conversation requirements. You can do the FAA validation program and a foreign pilot instrument written. The FAA will then issue you a FAA Private Pilot certificate with an instrument rating. Then you can do an upgrade/recurrent course in the 139. Since it is a Level D sim you should be able to do the type in the sim. You will have to make arrangements far enough in advance so you can be scheduled properly. If the facility doesn't have a qualified examiner on staff they will have to bring in an inspector.
