Start with a bank that is open to those without a credit history. My first CC was BofA when I first moved to the US.
My first card was from Capital One. I had to put a down payment on it to open it. Probably not the best card but it helped me get approved for all other cards now. Look into cards meant for credit rebuilding and use them wisely in order to move in to better cards.
A few options:
Try opening an AmEx in Canada (use a Canadian address) and then ask to open AmEx
RBC has a US bank and they might look at your Canadian credit history (might also be contingent on having a Canadian RBC account)
TD bank in the US can give you a US credit card based on your Canadian credit history, you might need to bank with them
If you have a card with Amex in Canada then I think you can transfer eligibility to the US.
I was able to open a Mastercard thru Apple (Morgan Stanley).
As others have mentioned you can also open a secure credit card with Capital One or other providers.
Discover didn’t have any conditions in 2019 when I first opened after moving to usa. Not sure now
Petal card -- they'll look at your income and bank statements and won't lean too heavily on your credit history. Designed specifically to help people build credit using a credit card
I think they're verifying income payments, as well as your debit card purchases.
Fwiw I think you eventually do need to directly link bank accounts to pay off the card for most (if not all) credit cards
