You are limited to private pilot privileges, no commercial
ops, even though you hold a Canadian ATPL. You can fly "for
hire" in the USA if you are in a Canadian aircraft.

You might consider studying for the US ATP and taking the
ride, you will surrender the FP certificate, but you will be
ahead.

You don't need any sign off, you have a choice of a 135 or a
121 based test.
