As a practical matter, I doubt if anyone will object, but, strictly speaking, international law is fuzzy about whether a Canadian power of attorney is valid in the U.S. It would be much, much better if the power of attorney could somehow be signed and notarized in the U.S. Another idea is to take the document to the U.S. consulate or embassy in Canada. They will notarize the document for a small fee.
