Country/Region cannot be changed at this time

Hi! I have a problem purchasing apps from the app store. I recently moved to Canada from United States. I want to purchase apps but it’s saying payment method required. I have a credit card here in Canada. But I cannot input it because the Country is still United States and there’s no way to change it. I also cannot enter my PayPal. Pls help. Thank you!

You need a zero account balance and you need to cancel all your subscriptions. If you have cancelled all subscriptions, but some haven’t expired, contact iTunes Support. You need a credit card issued by a bank in the country the store is in, and you need a billing address in that country. If you have an account balance, either buy something more expensive and pay the balance with a credit card or contact iTunes Support and ask them to zero balance your account.
