I don't understand your question. Are you saying you want to apply Canada Visa instead of US visa?

If so, I think these are two different countries and processes, and fee submitted to the Government won't be refunded.

you can't, two different countries

 

the petitioner can withdraw the petition, or cancel the interview if you don't want to immigrate to US

 

for Canada you would check their laws for immigrating to that country

The OP is visiting to US, not immigrate to US :P

Also, she/he wants to apply for Visitor Visa, not Immigrant Visa, as a topic is created inside "Tourist Visas Box"

I want to take exam in canada and the one  I asked to apply for my visa in my behalf, she mistakenly applied for us visa instead of canadian visa. I saw this option in my account so i was wondering if it will be possible to change country.

No. This is a 3rd party website. Since the agent mistakenly applied US visa for you, contact her directly and ask for refund. 

My basic comment to your photo is Change Country is just for changing the language, not the visa.

exactly,

 

that's to change the language of the webpage, you have to contact the person who made the error and reapply for the exam in Canada

If "she" was just a friend of yours who was helping you out and clicked the wrong box when applying on your behalf, then yes you'll probably have to pay the fees again, since it wasn't an agent error.

Slightly concerned what the Exam subject may be,.
