## Overview

In this article, we’ll show you how to achieve this using JavaScript.

## Setup

For the purpose of this documentation, we’ve already created a unique address **Scheme** for Canada by [following the steps from this tutorial](https://wpforms.com/developers/create-additional-schemes-for-the-address-field/#canada "How to Create Additional Schemes for the Address Field").

Once we’ve added our additional address scheme, we’ve then selected the Scheme for our Address field inside the form builder.
