I don't see anything about hosting or nameservers to be in the U.S. The only requirements are that the *registrant* meet one of the nexus requirements. In fact your Canadian based company probably meets nexus category 3, i.e. regularly sells goods in the United States; regularly provides services in the United States; regularly engages in business activities, trade or other business (commercial or non-commercial including not-for-profit) relations in the United States.
