If they force SMS to my phone as the 2FA method I don't think it will be a problem, given that the US and Canada share a "country code" (for dialing purposes) but I don't know if this will present a problem.

I've updated the country to "US" on my phone number and saved the changes in my BAEC account more times than I can count, but it just never sticks.

Gotta love BAEC IT capability where even the simple can be made infinitely complex...

P.S. I literally just tried it again while typing this post just for fun. I changed the field "Country/Region where your mobile/cell phone is registered" from "Canada" to "USA" Clicked "Save changes" then clicked "Save and exit" Then went back to "Update my personal information" and "Country/Region where your mobile/cell phone is registered says... wait for it... Canada!
Did you try the 2fa using the link above and logging in? Did it work?
