I used to live in Australia and still have my bank account active there Now I am in Canada and have Canadian bank account I want to add my Canadian bank to my PayPal. PayPal allows to add US bank with Australian apparently but could not find where to add my Canadian bank. I found this question that says you cannot

<removed>but it was since 2016. I wonder if that has changed and it is allowed to do that now? and How?

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.

You just need to sign up another PayPal account using another email address. Each PayPal account can only be associated with 1 country. To send money between 2 PayPal accounts of different country would cost 1%+ even if the currency is the same.
