Adding contact to WhatsApp, won't allow a country change from America to Canada. How can I fix this?

A person i met is trying to add my number to whatsapp but under country it says american, and won't let her change to canada.

I don't know how to fix this as when i try to add a contact it doesn't give me any prompts or scroll down menus, it just lets me type the country in with no help at all.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
