Canadian iTunes-Card doesnt work for the German App Store

Hello 🙂

Im a German exchange student in Canada and I've bought myself a 50$ iTunes Card. As my dad's credit card is German, Ive got only access to the German App Store but it won't let me use a Canadian iTunes Card and whenever I try to use it in the Canadian App Store, it won't accept my German Apple ID. As I don't have a Canadian payment method, I can't change my country settings. What can I do now?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

iPhone 5s, iOS 9

Whilst you are in Canada you can only use the Canadian store - you have to be in a country to use its store, using the German store when not Germany is a violation of the store's terms, Apple could permanently disable the account.

Create a Canadian account with your Canadian address on it and use that whilst you are there : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
