No. If flying internationally, you must meet the ICAO requirements...that is the whole point of ICAO, it allows ICAO member planes and pilots to fly in each other's countries without meeting the exact local requirements. If you want to convert your tickets to JAA or CAA or whatever you must meet all the local requirements, take their tests and checkrides.
I think canada has a different agreement with the US and will allow a non-ICAO ATP, but mexico will not.
