Telus technical support says I would be able too, provided that my router is setup for remote access.
I don't believe it. Because right now I have a client in the states that is using my router on his network, but the ISP plugged in another router right before mine. So the internet comes in, gets plugged into his router, then a cable goes into my router. And I can't remotely access my router.
Or am I completely out to lunch?

With all due sincerity, you really need to work on your basic networking skills and knowledge. You can’t be sending out routers or other networking gear, and not intuitively know what the issues are here. It’s not effective use of your time, and its unfair to your clients. You ask quite a few questions like this that demonstrate you need to bone up on this stuff.
I say this only because you obviously have an interest in the field, and some formal education would really, really help you.
The answer is that your router needs to be in the DMZ on the Telus router, which is a suboptimal solution as there is still a NAT traversal in play, or the Telus router needs to be switched to bridge mode, which is completely unsupported by Telus.
Router-in-the-DMZ works OK, but expect certain things to function weirdly from the client side of the network, such as broken traceroutes, etc. You can also expect the efficacy of this solution to vary depending on the model of router that Telus is employing at any given site. The 2wires handle this configuration pretty well, other models may not.
