Converting FAA to TC then back again... loophole?

As I understand it:

In the US a multi engine rating done at three levels - PPL, CPL and ATPL, so a PPL(ME) taking a SE commercial would end up with commercial SE and private ME (Hence most people do multi only at CPL level)

In EASA: The multi engine is a rating without 'level' so to speak, so a private pilot with a ME rating can do a SE CPL test, and the ME rating upgrades automatically (Hence most people do it as a PPL)

From what I read - the Canadian system is the same as EASA, which leads to the following question:

Could an FAA PPL do a private ME test, convert to TC via an exam to Canadian PPL(ME), then do a Canadian CPL(SE) test - and end up with a CPL(ME)? Because if so, presumably that could be converted back to FAA...
