Can't change country

I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

Not sure why I am unable to set the country on my profile to "Canada".

 

It shows "Albania" as default and is greyed out; I am unable to change it.

 

Has any of you encountered similar issues?

 

If Yes; Can you please guide me how to solve for this issue?

 

Best regards,

Sidd

Thanks a lot Bojan for your prompt response.

 

Is it possible for you to update the city name on my profile to "Toronto, ON" and delete the existing one "TiranaON" ?

 

Best regards,
