    That's not possible; only people who are in Canada and have a Canadian payment method can buy them. If desired, ask the developer to make them available in the USA.

    Neil.  Problem solved:

    You are correct about Canadian payment method.

    I am in Canada when I buy most of my apps from US store.

    spoke with genius in Buffalo store.

    Would have been ok if I did not have iCloud Match turned on. He could not help

    Do not change countries on your current Apple ID, you will lose content.


    Do the following:

    Sign out of US account

    Create second separate Canadian Apple ID with Canadian address, payment method, and separate email.

    sign to Canadian store - get app  in this case update TD CANADA TRUST app. 

    Run app and set it up.

    sign out of Canadian account and sign in to US account.

    NOW have working TD CANADA TRUST app.  and TD BANK (US) app  both work.

    I did this while in Canada - but would probably work in US -
