Jimbo, I have an american account at TD Waterhouse (I work for TD Visa). It's a great account.

It's an American account in American dollars for Canadian residents, as opposed to a Canadian account in American dollars, like you have now. There are several benefits to that (checks clear faster, wires are cheaper, etc).
They don't have a physical location, so all checks must be mailed to them. Usually takes about 3-4 business days. They give you a Visa check card, so you can withdraw your funds at most ATMs worldwide or you can use it wherever Visa is accepted.
