Arrow Floatplanes in Alaska/Canada

I have been thinking about flying a floatplane in Alaska/Canada and I have a few questions.
If I have a JAR PPL, will I need to follow any procedure to make it valid to fly in Alaska/Canada? Would I be correct in saying that I will need a 'Float Rating' and if so what does this involve? Finally, are there any people who specialise in taking people from the UK, getting them their float rating and letting them fly a few hours? I don't plan on going for too long, between seven and ten days - providing this will be long enough to complete any training necessary.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
