Investing in US Stocks (Fidelity) while I’m Canada

Registered
Hey I’m a Canadian Citizen and worked temporarily in the US for 4-5 months on a TN visa. As such, I received a SIN number which allows me to open up most financial accounts in the US.

I moved back to Canada but still have funds in my US bank account (bank of America). I was thinking, rather than pay US-CAD conversion fees, I’d rather just open up a US trading account and trade in the USD that I earned.

Can I open up a tax free retirement account (Roth IRA), and subsequently will I have to pay any additional taxes given that I’m residing in Canada? Also, how can I check how much room I have for contributions for a Roth IRA? I’m used to a TFSA here in Canada.

Thanks
