If a country has an iTunes/Mac App Store, it is only for those who actually reside in that country. Hence the United States store for Statesonians and the Canada store for Canadians. To shop in a country's store you need either iTunes Gift Cards from that country that you redeem in your account for credit or a bank card from a bank in that country with a local billing address. The thing to remember about the US store is that, unlike Canada and most of the world, the US does not have a countrywide Value Added Tax (VAT), so the prices in the US store do not reflect the local sales taxes which are applied in the final steps of the sale from the US store.
