Hello. Does anyone know why there is a flag of Canada on my profile? How is it removed/changed? TY!

Your Internet server is in Canada. The flag is a technological thing, not based on your actual location.
 
The same thing happens to me in reverse. I was told hope to change the info in my profile but darned if I recall how. I think it was Red who provided me the info.
 
The flag represents the IP address you are using. If you were using a German IP through a VPN, then you would have a German flag, even if you were physically located in Schenectady, NY, for example.

Red l recall you explaining that to me but I think you also helped me with how to supress the flag.

I turned on my VPN that's built into my browser (Opera GX) lately and it had a Ukraine flag here. And my Ip is not in Ukraine, so I think that you are mistaken?

No, I am not. There is a master table that reflects where each IP resides. This table is not 100% up-to-date. I was at work in SWFL but my mobile IP reflected that I was in Puerto Rico for the longest time. The table hadn't been updated, so the table, and this the flag, was wrong.

I was recently in Indiana for my youngest daughter's wedding. While at my dad's house, his IP address was coming up as Chicago, even though he was 150 miles away. Comcast had purchased another ISP and their IP's still reflected Chicago in the table. Eventually, this will get straightened out. It is out of our hands as we have nothing to do with the table being updated.
