I wonder how long you could fly it in the US while
still foreign registered.

As long as the FAA allowed you to.

Could you have maintenance in Canada, but keep it in the US?

Sure.

Could a US A&P perform the maintenance in the US??

Yup. You can legally have minor or major maintenance
performed on a C-reg in the USA, including major engine,
prop and airframe overhauls. Fill out the 337 as usual,
lord knows what the FAA does with it in OKC :-)

However, an FAA A&P/IA CANNOT sign off an annual inspection
on a C-reg, which is kind of silly, given the above, and that
the requirements for an annual inspection for a C-reg are all
on the web - it's not like they're a big secret.
