    Yeah, so since I live really close to the border, near Niagara Falls (on Canada's side), I hopped over so I was in the US, changed my gamer tag, it worked, then I hopped back over to Canada and went home.

    So obviously there's something about Canada that is *** with our ability to change our gamer tag.

    So, hypothetically, anyone in the states could change it for you, assuming they could access your account *hint hint*, i'm NOT endorsing the idea of you giving your account information to anyone, I'm just talking to myself over here :)

    Hello there oOI BUMBUM IOo When an Xbox live member chooses an Xbox gamer-tag, they have the full rights to keep that gamer-tag even know if they have been inactive for years along with no gamer-score & no gold membership,
    you will not be able to request for the gamer-tag to be forced changed. The owner of the gamer-tag must change it himself or when a forced gamer tag change is imposed due to the gamer-tag violated the code of conduct in any sort of way, if the gamer tag you
    enter is already taken, you are prompted to try another gamer tag Also try to remember that gamer-tags are also tied to services like Zune or games for windows live. If a gt doesn't exist on Xbox or has already been taken, it might be in use on one of those
    Additional services like gfwl.

    The short short short version, No. As previously stated, you are prompted to try another gamer tag.
    Sorry, ^_^
