Finding jobs in US as a Canadian

I've been mostly applying for jobs through LinkedIn..but wondering if my current location (outside the US) will affect potential employers.

On my resume, I try to leave out where I am located but clearly my experience shows which country I have worked in (currently i work in tokyo)

Also, with LinkedIn, they often ask for your phone number which is tied to your country...

For those who have applied for jobs in US and had success, did you have to leave out where you're currently based?
