Hi Lisajayne83!
I have an article here that can help you change the country in your App Store settings:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

How can I change my iTunes Store to the USA, so my apps will update? Dialog says my account is not valid in the Canadian store, switch to US. But it won't let me do it.

My app updates in iPad won't install, when I hit update, it says my account is not valid in the Canadian store, and I must switch to the US store before purchasing. So, I sign out of Canadian store, and try to sign into US store, and that won't work either.
It says my Apple ID is not valid in the US store, but it must be, because that's where I made my purchases of all those apps in the first place.
Is it possible I am missing something here? Is this my fault? Can anybody offer a suggestion as to why I cannot sign into USA store?
Thanks for any and all help.

[Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

TS1702 I cannot update or buy any apps because I get the message that says: Your account is not valid for use in the U.S store. .

I get a message that says: your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Canadian store be purchasing. I'm close to the border would that cause the switch because it does it automatically. Should I contact my internet provider help.

What store should you be using? If you should be using the Canadian store, try changing it in the settings.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
Tap your ID
Tap View Apple ID
Enter your password
Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store

Your visa card is a credit card, not debit card? Do you meet the requirements as below, interpreted strictly?
