Question CANADIAN and almost world, DATE FORMAT

Apple is under the impression that Canada uses the mm.dd.yyyy date format. As far as I know only one country uses that format, the U.S., of A.. Most of the commonwealth countries, which represent about 1.85 BILLION people use dd.mm.yyyy format, and those that don't tend to use the international format of yyyy.mm.dd.

I have to set my iPhone to Australia in order to get the right format in English, and an bearable telephone number format. I would like to set my own phone number format such as +1 51 48 88 83 46 or even 514 488 88 36.

I work in a francophone part of Canada, so I like my number format to be French which is 1.500,55$ (currency).

Is there any way to set this?
Yes, I understand that many Canadians think that our English language format is the same as USA and our French language format is the same as France....but is there a way to customise this stuff???

I have read a same sort of article in some other forum. And then I started searching on internet and I have found only this-
Go into Settings > General > International > Region Format.
It might help you. Best of LUCK.

Yes, sadly our accounting department has made the same mistake about the date time and time again when we deal with international companies... I'd be up for a universal format.
