Google Places AutoComplete API Filter by Multiple Countries

Question

Looking for a way to filter autofill results filtered by two countries, Canada and the USA.

Currently, I can only filter one or the other with parameters like this ...

var options = { types: ['(cities)'], componentRestrictions: {country: 'us'} } var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input,options); 

... but I have not seen any documentation that explains how to limit autocomplete results to two countries.

Any help is appreciated.

The Google Places API does not currently support this feature. If you think this will be a useful feature, you can send here the "Place API" - "Request Function" here .

UPDATE

This feature was introduced in version 3.27 of the Maps API in January 2017:

Now you can restrict Autocomplete predictions to just a few countries. You can do this by specifying up to 5 countries in the componentRestrictions field of the AutocompleteOptions object.
