AdSense issue: changing country associated with the account

A few months ago, I moved from USA to Canada. My YouTube channel is currently monetized by my US AdSense account. After searching for a while online, I noticed that I should change my AdSense account to be in Canada, according to the link here (https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2628816?hl=en)


The process seems to be complicated, as there is no direct and simply way to just "update" the country in your Google Adsense account to Canada. There are a few steps that need to follow, including:
  1. cancel and close the existing Google AdSense account that was created in USA
  2. reapply another Google AdSense account using the address information in Canada
  3. wait for a few days to get approved
  4. change the settings of YouTube channel to associate with the new Google AdSense account
Today, I just cancelled my US AdSense account, and am waiting to see how the process works. I will update later once I get some news on this matter.

Really, Google could make this process much simpler by allowing the users to change the country info in an existing Google AdSense account.

[update 2017-03-24] Just got an email from Google AdSense team saying that my new application was not approved. It looks that the process is not very smooth. There are some issues that I need to address, including the email account, the info, and the YouTube/website URLs. Very disappointed.

TD Canada will issue two new credit cards in Summer 2017

I reported that Tangerine will make some significant changes to one of the (previously) best credit cards in Canada very soon. I decided to take some study and look for some alternatives. It seems that TD Canada is going to issue two new credit cards in the summer of 2017.


The benefits of the two cards are interesting, some of major points including:
  • A TD Cash Back VISA card. It has no annual fee, and earn 1% cash back on grocery, gas, and pre-authorized payments. Other than that, the cashback rate is 0.5% on all other purchases. It is also good to know that the card comes with purchase security and extended warranty insurance.
  • A TD Cash Back VISA Infinite card. It provides much better benefits than the previous card, but it charges an annual fee of $120. However, the fee could be waived if you have the TD all-inclusive account. One of the greatest benefits of the card is that it earns 3% cashback on grocery, gas, and pre-authorized payments. Other than that, the cashback rate is 1%. For those new users, the cashback rate is 6% in the fist three months. Terrific!
I am planning to apply for the VISA Infinite card once the application link is available.

Finally found a good browser

Yandex, better than Opera, much better.




  • Can be as indecent as Opera rearrangement (including Android 7.1.1)
  • Can remember all the passwords (yes, no one can not remember)
  • Can use all of Chrome's plug-ins (including Adblock for Youtube!)
In short, the only one I know can completely replace the desktop browser.

The following is what I tried, can not paragraph rewind (text wrap, reflow, auto-fit):
  • Boat
  • Dolphin
  • Next
  • Naked
  • Via
  • Maxthon
  • Flynx
  • Ghostery
  • Lightning
Perhaps also tried more, do not remember. Do not like Firefox, Chrome and UC, this time too lazy to try again

Recently there are mail coupon, I tried it, is the first choice through the coupon code, and then guided by the meal. It is quite good for the coupon to accept the mail coupon, which is an unnamed infinite number of times (app coupons need to be instantly generated and time-bound) and then do not use paper coupons , Or holding the code with the waiter grinding grumble. I took the code on the phone, when the need for direct buffet meal just fine. Finally attached to the recent distribution of the province mail coupon part of the code.
