Challenge is reserved for Canadian residents

For those of us who don't speak French, is there any chance that the challenge could be opened to non-Canadian residents? I live in the US, and I have a good idea that I'd submit if the challenge was open to me.

Unfortunately, this challenge is only open to Canadian residents, but there is a parallel challenge that is open to US-based innovators. Additional information can be found here - https://www.challenge.gov/challenge/the-healthy-behavior-data-challenge/

We were able to work with HeroX to draft challenge guidelines, promote the challenge to a targeted audience of interested parties, and ultimately draw a crowd of innovators from across the globe to submit proposals to address our challenge. We were quite satisfied with the number and diversity of both individuals and proposals that the challenge drew.
