Hi there,
look at this
Advisory Circular (AC) No. 401-001 - Transport Canada
It tells you clearly, you don't need a flight test to get FAA cpl, but you need to write a test.
What concerns a flying job, you have a zero chance to get one in the US.
The only exception is an instructing job. Than you can get a work visa.If you want to be an instructor, get your FAA cpl and than get your US instructor rating in a school, where you would like to instruct.
Hope this helps.
