Trouble renewing Xbox Live membership

I have an Xbox Live account that I started in the United States but I have moved to Canada. I am trying to use a 12 month Xbox Live Gold card I purchased here in Canada to renew my membership and it won't work. I get a message telling
me to change my Microsoft Store region and that I have a subscription from another region. My region has been change to Canada for several months on my Xbox and on my Microsoft account. I was on the phone with Microsoft support for over an hour trying everything
the tech told me to do and still could not get it figured out. I have used several Canadian cards for credits to purchase games and DLC and have never had a problem.

The last thing the tech had me do was go to Xbox.com and go into Xbox settings and click on Change 360 account region. When I do this and choose to change to Canada I get a message that says " There is a problem completing your move right now. " I'm stumped
and the tech from support is stumped. Has anybody run into this before or have any idea what the problem could be?

If you disable your account immediately, you will lose the time remaining on your membership subscription.

If you are on a 2 Year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract, and you want to cancel before the end of the 2 years, you will be charged an Early Termination Fee and other applicable taxes. Once the two-year agreement period is over, your account will not be renewed automatically.

Changing console region or change your microsoft account region doesnt do the trick....you need to migrate the
xbox live account to Canada to be able to use that card. You can change here: Sign in to your Microsoft account

Note: During three months you wont be able to change back to US or another country.
