To convert, you must take the knowledge and practical test.

If you get a certificate based on a foreign license, it is only valid for VFR private pilot privileges ONLY (you can add an instrument rating to it), but it won't be good for commercial use.

If you want to put the type ratings, you can but VFR only. If you want the full type rating, you need to go through a type rating course for each type rating. Some training providers may have a reduced type rating course if you are already type rated.
