Buying unlock S8 in the US, and using with public mobile. Will it work?

I have a friend in the US right now.

I'm considering switching a new phone, and kinda have my eyes to S8 atm.  Canadian price seems to be ridiculous high, so I was considering my friend buying it and bring it over.

 

This is what I'm considering:

I checked with:

https://willmyphonework.net/

and it gave me a yellow checkmark, which says "Device is compatible with some of the network carriers frequencies. It may work.".  I rather be safe than sorry, so I'm here to ask

It will support band 4 and band 17, so full support on Public's LTE. It also supports Public's 3G service as well. This is the same model, shows the bands in the specs list: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1330628-REG/samsung_sm_g950_64gb_blk_galaxy_s8_sm_g950_64gb.h...
