Muchacho,
The news isn't good I'm afraid. I have a friend who spent about 6000 hrs (not necessarily a good thing) flying( bush and instructing ) in Canada. He wanted out about a year ago and being British, did his JAA conversion ( cost - £20-25K ). Was picked up by Loganair only to be told that the job he had been hired for wasn't the one he was going to be made to do!
Result was that after all the effort and job hunting he had to go back to Cananda where he now works out of aviation.
Things on the British side of the pond are rough especially when you'd need a JAA licence anyway. As for other countries - well Africa is always an option although you'll never build a decent career outside of South Africa and even there you'll have trouble with not being South African and black.
I couldn't comment on anywhere else.
Good luck.
