    I originally set up my account in HK, and now when I want to migrate it, they only give me the options of Czech, South Africa, etc...  How can I migrate it to Canada?  If that 's not possible then can I use the cards here for my HK account?  Thanks!!! :)

    Im not 100% sure how to answer this, but I know one of those Majors Minutes videos on the dashboard talked about this same thing. Try looking around for it.

    To be exact, when they officially open up Xbox Live to a new territory, they give existing accountholders an opportunity to migrate their accounts into that territory. (This is why you're seeing options for Czechoslovakia, South Africa, etc.; these are new territories.) But there is no way to move an account from one territory to another territory that already has Live service. 
     
    Yes, this sucks. I'm not sure that Microsoft has ever clearly explained the reasons for this.
