How to install a Canadian App in your US Google Play Store

Last week, I want to install the Journie Rewards app on my Google Pixel 3a.  The problem is my Google account on this device is using a US profile. And at the same time, this Google account has Advanced Protection enabled. So, I can not install the APK file in developer options mode.

I am stuck because I can not even change the country and profile from the US to Canada.

 

See, I can not change it.

The big problem is Journie Rewards has different Apps in different countries.

At last, I solve the problem by adding my another Google account which is Canada-based.  Then switch to this Canadian account, and install the Canadian version of the App. After that switched back to my main Google account.

So, the most important part is to have two Google accounts, one is a US profile, and the other one is a Canadian profile. This is the best solution for it.

Yes, you can change the country from the US to Canada in your Google Account. But you can only change once in 12 months, and you should be physically in the target country.
