You may drive in the United States with your BC Class 7 ("Novice") licence, provided that you abide by all of the restrictions on your licence.

Each individual province, territory and state establishes its own rules and regulations regarding driver licensing — such as the amount of time you may drive there with an out-of-state licence — so you may wish to check with each state you plan to visit.
