Samsung should start doing the beta version globally for their One UI similar to apple which mostly not restricted by region as this gives customer more control over if they like to enroll or not and not too sure why Canada doesn't get most of the things and limited to quite a lot of things from other countries.

Apple has one or two devices to worry about. Samsung has too many devices that are eligible for One UI / Android updates. 

That's the likely reason why Samsung's Beta testing is limited to 7 countries, and it's been the same 7 countries for years now.

But they should make the beta limited to the S or the Z series to start with and other devices they can limit to those countries but for s and z series user they should ensure everyone has access to the best of best things

I disagree, especially here in Canada. 

A few years ago, one of Samsung Canada's managers  @steve01said that Samsung Support Canada does not have the resources to support Betas.. I agree with him.

If you know what you're doing, you can always manually install the US Betas on your Canadian device.

Wouldn't this wipe data, wreck banking apps, and bar users from receiving official over the air updates?

Wipe Data yes, but when the Canadian One UI V7.0 Stable is released, you Revert back to the Canadian Non Beta firmware & everything will work as though it had never happened. 

As for the Data, you restore your Smart Switch backup.
