DBA Experience in Brazil?

Hello

I would like to tap into your knowledge of the I.T. industry Having worked in this industry for several years, but striving to learn new
technolgies constantly, I have put as a goal to work as an Oracle Database Administrator.
Currently I am studying and writing certification exams towards an Oracle Certified Professional (DBA) certification. Recently, I have received an offer from a company in Brasil to work as an Oracle developer,
with possibilities to grow into a Database Administrator role. They offer an environment that
stimulates learning.
Now, the question remains: If I go and work in Brasil, will my experience be recognized once
I return to Canada?
Realizing the strugle to enter such a specific job market in Canada, my
hope is that work experience elsewhere will make it possible to work as an Oracle DBA in Canada.
Is this a realistic asumption?
Would a six month contract, starting in development, be looked upon favorably
by Canadian employers?
This opportunity involves almost no financial advantage. So I am taking the aproach that
this is an investment in my education and career. Accepting this oportunity will take considerable effort and resources, so I sincerely
apreciate your opinion and input on this subject. Are there any other aspects I might be overlooking? Thank you beforehand for your time and answer. Cheers,
