Upgrade to Catalina but "item not available in US store"

I want to upgrade from Mojave to Catalina (NOT to Big Sur, for compatibility reasons) but itunes gives the message "item not available in US store". There is a thread named "How to get old versions of macOS"

(https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683) but it points again to itunes, with the same problem. So where can I find a copy of the Catalina installer ?

Is it true that macOS Catalina is not available in iTunes in Canada? Banktivity 5 does not work with macOS Big Sur on my new macbook air. I would like to upgrade the application, but the newest Banktivity 8 is not compatible with macOS High Sierra. I usually like to continue to use the older computer with an older OS for a time because many applications don't work with the newer OS's. To solve the issue, I would like to upgrade from High Sierra to Catalina. However, when I went online to do that, it connected me with iTunes, and apparently this upgrade is not available in Canada. Anyone have intel on this?? Thanks

Trying to download and install Catalina, but get error not available in US store From this page: hhttps://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 I am clicking the link to download Catalina 10.15. This leads to iTunes and error that the product is not available in the app store. I'm not willing to jump (esp. this soon) from Mojave to Big Sur right now, esp on a mid-2015. Thus the desire to get Catalina.

Trying to Get a Copy of Mojave Hello, I'm trying to get a copy of Mojave when I have already upgraded to Catalina. I have gone to the App link on How to upgrade to macOS Mojave, but every time I do iTunes says, "Item Not Available The item you've requested is not currently in the U.S. store." I can see it on the App store on my phone, but there's no way to download it and transfer it. Is there any other way to get it? I also get the same issue if I try to get High Sierra, although the page for Sierra has just a regular download link.
