Problem Details:
When I am in a multiplayer lobby checking my name, it shows that I am from Canada; however, I am actually from the United States, and I only ever go out of the country (Malaysia) every summer. Is the bar showing that I am Canada something I should be concerned? I would appreciate if it was changed to United States. Thanks in advance!

Your in-game location is determined based on your ip address - staff can't change that for you. It's nothing to be concerned about though.

^ Basically that. If you're running a VPN or Proxy, you may want to disable it as this can definitely change your location.

I like to bring this up because I am having the same issue/problem. Signed up on Osu 2 years ago under the U.S. Never left the country. I do use a VPN but I never pick Canada as a proxy server and when I do use a VPN I never use it while playing osu. I am located in California and my ISP is located in California. So I don't know why it says I'm from Canada. Usually isn't there a process to change what your country is? It's just weird explaining to a person who is from Canada that I'm not Canadian lol

I don't even live remotely near Canada (I'm in Texas)

Do a ping to your VPN and watch its path, if it leads through Canada then that would explain why this is occurring.

Could be your ISP also recently got allocated a block that was geolocated elsewhere before for whatever reason, assuming you're not using a VPN. It'll probably solve itself over time, but curiously, what ISP are you using?
Geo-location would show Canada on anything else too.
