Question License Conversion

Hello everyone,

As this is my first post, I'll introduce myself, my name is Martin, I was born in Argentina, I'm 27 years old and I'm both Argentinian and Portuguese citizen. I hold an ICAO CPL w/IR and ME. I've been flying since I was 17 years old and I was looking to expand my possibilities of becoming an Airline pilot.
Here in Argentina that possibility seems to be very far away, not just because of the lack of airlines (we only have Aerolineas Argentinas and LAN, (now LATAM) as the mayor airlines), but because GA is very small, and regional or small airlines are non-existent. So, as my family is Portuguese and having the chance to develop in Europe I was looking for places to convert my license to EASA and get the Frozen ATPL.
I've been in contact with most "recognised" schools, like FTE Jerez, CTC wings, Oxford and others, but they don't seem to be doing that type of conversion. Their response seems to be the same with all of them "we are already full with integrated courses and we will not be doing conversions any time soon". So, I would be very very grateful if you could give any suggestions of where to do the ICAO to EASA conversion.

Cheers,
Martin.
