Google Assistant not working with voice access on galaxy note 8

[zicdeh]

The option is greyed out and says it's not available in my language even though I'm using English US or Canadian (and reside in Canada)

 I've tried clearing cash/data
 Clearing and uninstalling Google Play Service updates
 Reinstalling it
 Disabling and renabling it
 Same thing with Google app
 Turning off and on screen capture/read
 Turning on and off Google assistant.
 Restarting phone
 All of the above in one go.

 Seems like nothing works. Any ideas?

Did you try Clearing Cache & Data during the process & then double check the Language settings?
