"Are the licenses international?  Is a US license good in Mexico and
Canada?"

Licenses are issued based on knowledge that is specific for your country
but the general rules and procedures on the sea and in the air are
international. So there may be different regulations on which channels
may be used and for what but the procedures as such are the same. You
have to find out what rules are different locally and that is what you
are licensed to do.
The language is another matter. The local language is always the right
one and on top of that you may e.g. be able to use English. I wouldn't
try to speak Danish to the Finnish authorities, and I would speak German
when boating there.
