In a nutshell. The CPL/IR or ATPL exams (depending on the direction you want to go), prescribed training and flight tests for CPL and IR.
The reference you are looking for is in JAR FCL1 under licence conversion. If you look in the appendix it will give you the experience credits as well.
If you are looking to do it in the UK the LASORS is a handy guide but is full of errors and is not the actual regulation (just our CAA interpretation)which is currently JAR FCL and will be EASA Part FCL from April next year.

I'm contemplating of doing a FIC in the US, but should I decide for an FAA course, how's the procedure of converting it into a JAA? Was studying LASORS and as far as I could understand, converting would only consist of a check ride, could this be true?!

No, to convert an FAA CFI to a JAA you will get a reduction of the theoretical course from 125 hours down to 30 and the flying hours from 30 down to 15, then do the test
As already pointed out by Bose-X above, which I only just noticed
And will this route still exist under EASA?
"Applicants for Part–FCL licences and associated ratings or certificates already holding at least an equivalent licence issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1 by a third country shall meet all the requirements of Part–FCL, except that the requirements of course duration, number of lessons and specific training hours may be reduced.
The credit given to the applicant shall be determined by the competent authority of the Member State to which the pilot applies on the basis of a recommendation from an approved training organisation."
In fact, the credits could be even greater than they are under JAR-FCL if an ATO so recommends and the Authority agrees.

Sorry about that, I should rephrase: basically any CPL (that's what we are talking about here right?) licence you have heard about is ICAO.
So if you want to convert a FAA (or transport Canada's?) CPL licence into a JAA one, just say so. ALL ARE ICAO.
Jet? No turbofan.
Line training? No pay to work.
Frozen ATPL? No CPL.
ICAO CPL? It means absolutely nothing, as there is no non-ICAO CPL on earth. Maybe an exception somewhere somebody will be proud to find, but not even sure.
Vocabulary has to be accurate in our profession, and it's clearly not.

UK (Restricted) BCPL if you want to be accurate!
But honestly, even if I am not 100% sure because I don't want to double check, I think you are confused. I think you mean the UK (restricted) BCPL is not EASA (JAA?), but is definitely ICAO (if it is UK, it is automatically ICAO, UK being, of course, a ICAO member).
That's only my feeling, I didn't check and I have no references about this UK Restricted BCPL.
Cheers.
Not the UK, but I seem to recall a microlight CPL somewhere or other. I doubt that is ICAO compliant.
I think you are confused.
It was a freebie issued to aeroplane PPL Instructors to get around a change in the law when it became illegal to be remunerated as a PPL holder.
Just because a country is a member state of ICAO does not mean that all of its licences are ICAO-compliant (i.e. issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1). Apart from the obvious examples (UK NPPL, French Brevet de Base, US Recreational Pilot Certificate, EASA LAPL), the Australian ATPL(H) is not issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1. However, as Australia has filed a formal difference, everyone else seems to accept it. By the same token, a licence issued by a non-ICAO state might well be ICAO compliant.

Apparently it will, Article 7 of the Cover Regulation states:
"Applicants for Part–FCL licences and associated ratings or certificates already holding at least an equivalent licence issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1 by a third country shall meet all the requirements of Part–FCL, except that the requirements of course duration, number of lessons and specific training hours may be reduced.
The credit given to the applicant shall be determined by the competent authority of the Member State to which the pilot applies on the basis of a recommendation from an approved training organisation."
In fact, the credits could be even greater than they are under JAR-FCL if an ATO so recommends and the Authority agrees.

EASA appears to offer no way out of the 14 exams.
Surely converting just a CPL is a chocolate teapot.
If this is the full story, all it will take is just one EU country to offer a lenient acceptance and the whole conversion business will just pile in there. 5000 euros? Cheap at twice the price, Sir! Ryanair flies pretty cheaply to some places in the Balkans
I can't wait.
