You actually think most of the non USA FIBA officials can walk in and start working top D-1, D-League, or the NBA games???

I was at a camp earlier this summer and one of the clinicians was a FIBA ref from Canada. Yes, he could work any level in the U.S. In fact, many of the D-1 teams go up into Canada and play Canada teams and he has worked many, many of those games. He's worked a couple semifinal games in the Olympics too.

One of the other clinicians at that camp is a D-1 ref and he has worked some of those D-1 vs. Canadian teams with the Canadian FIBA ref. He has huge respect for his game and said he'd work any game with him.
