locale codes

My online store is in Canada and all of my customers are in Canada and when they select to pay by credit card through PayPal the default country shows as US. I have tried to figure this out for several months but to no success. Today I learned that PayPal uses the locale code to determine the country. I've checked my setting and I have the locale setup to be Canada but when I looked the PayPal's locale code I noticed that it is en_US for Canada. The BCP-47 code for REST APIs appears to be correct as it is en_CA. Could this be my problem?

Hi Dcrowe2020, you can find here the locale codes for REST APIs. The code for Canada is the one you said. If you can share the API call - request where I can also see how you set the locale code, I will check for you.
