Sure. You may have to get a taxpayer identification number (TIN) from the US Internal Revenue Service since you can't get a Social Security number.
It's possible that there is a treaty between the US and Canada that provides for a way to use an equivalent Canadian identity number for this purpose. Banks in border towns are probably aware of the procedures and requirements. Just ask!

Sure it's possible. You need to apply for a social security number if they will allow you to have one. If they won't you'll have to get a taxpayer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service. Then the account can be opened and you will probably have to file a tax return in the US to report the interest the account earns.
