Get a recreational pilots license in Canada and then fly with passengers in the US?

Hi,

I am 16. In the US you have to be 17 to get a pilots license. However, in Canada you can get a recreational license at 16 which allows you to fly with one passenger . Would it be possible to get a recreational license in Canada and somehow fly in the US with a passenger? I am not sure if I could simply fly with that license in the US legally with the Canadian age rules, or if I would have to apply for a US license via the Canadian recreational license.

If I had to apply for the US license, would the age requirement be 16 or 17?

Thank you very much in advance for any help. If I didn't give enough detail somewhere, I would be happy to clarify.

Thanks again.
