I don't know how this got set, missed it or something but there doesn't seem to be a method to change it.  I'm an American living in the United States, but I'm labeled Canada on my Profile.  Nothing against my northern friends but I would like the truth posted under my name.   Many thanks to the admin that can fix this issue for me.

I'm surprised you can't edit this yourself. It's not so bad living here in Canada...

It's all about your Internet provider. If your provider has some ties to Canada, it's likely that your current TCP/IP address is somehow showing a canadian geolocation.
DJI forum software has its own georeferencing 'plugin' which uses that info from your provider.

I don't know if it was from your IP address or not, but I do know that it's pretty impossible to edit what is shown about you. I started with a Phantom, and when I bought my Mavic, I thought I needed to use a different user name while registering.  Well, that ended up with me having two different DJI accounts - this one showing me with the phantom and the other account showing me as a Mavic owner.  I've tried several times to get the two accounts married, or at least showing on this one that I also have a Mavic.  No luck.

The forum admins that could probably fix my country of origin issue most likely work for DJI in China and don't speak English.  Hopefully, an admin or moderator will catch this post and help.

"Well, some people in Europe have the impression that America has made some stupid choices in the past o' five years... so for the next week I am from Canada."

Same thing has happened to me.  While I have always wanted to visit Canada, I live in Texas.  No way to change this in the forum.  At least we know it isn't an isolated event

Keule is correct. The country under your Avatar will change automatically according to your IP address. You can connect another internet to verify. Alternatively, please try to contact the network carrier to check the exact status.

According to your link to identifying my location, it shows that I'm correctly ID'd as in the United States in the State of California.  Seems the forum may be glitched.
