Moving countries... is it worth doing a PostDoc in the new country before going into industry?

My long term plan after my Masters and PhD is to move from the UK to Canada. 

Basically, because i'd be moving countries, would it make any reasonable impact on my ability to get a research job at a company like Microsoft or Google if I had some experience in Canadian academia? Or would I be better off just applying for jobs straight after my PhD?

I would have thought to hedge your bets it would be better to apply after a PhD, then if you don't get the job do a postdoc, then reapply. 

At least this way you maintain a sense of what they're looking for and can further focus yourself through the postdoc.
