Can I invest USD cash directly into US stocks in Canada?

I'm Canadian and did some cash jobs in the states, of which I have about $1000 left over. I'd like to invest it directly into US stocks if possible, rather than transferring it to CAD and then back to USD.

Is this something I can do through my bank? I'm with TD but also have an account with RBC and Desjardens.

I'm also wondering if there is a solution for this that would optimize long term as I will likely pick up more cash jobs in the future. I would even be open to starting an account in the states if that would be beneficial.
