RBC has a US subsidiary, so the bank accounts through their US branch are local US bank accounts. You can get direct deposit, pay us bills, etc.
I wasnt suggesting go for months at a time and never get a visa. If you wanted to check it out once (because 50/50 it's not for you) I wouldn't bother getting a visa. If you decided to move there you definitely need a visa. YMMV, not actual advice, etc.
