Looking for a way to filter the autoplete results filtered by 2 countries, Canada and US.

Currently I can only filter by one or the other with options like this...

var options = {
  types: ['(cities)'],
  ponentRestrictions: {country: 'us'}
}
var autoplete = new google.maps.places.Autoplete(input,options);

... but I have not seen any documentation that explains how to restrict autoplete results to 2 countries.

Any help is appreciated.

The Google Places API does not currently support this feature. If you believe this would be a useful feature you can submit a 'Places API - Feature Request' here.

UPDATE

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

You can now restrict Autoplete predictions to only surface from multiple countries. You can do this by specifying up to 5 countries in the ponentRestrictions field of the AutopleteOptions.
