I want to bring my mavic to trip in Canada and USA. Can I do it? What is the procedure?

I was just reading the USA registration rules and it looks like you have to be a US citizen to register a recreational drone?
The "*" indicates there is a note below. That note states the following:

"Visiting foreign nationals must register their drone or UAS upon arrival in the United States (online registration serves as a certificate of ownership). Read more about Information for Foreign UAS Operators in the United States."

As I said before non Canadian citizens can not currently register their drones in Canada and can not obtain a pilot certificate. Please don't pass on incorrect information.
