I tried to purchase a replacement phone, a54 from Amazon (they have gone down hill fast). I ordered a US unlocked sm-a546u. They sent me the an sm-a546w which is Canada version. SAMSUNG says the bands will auto change to my carrier. However, the specs say not all bands are enabled for non US phones. Does anyone know if bands are disabled and will not work?

The w denotes Canada is why you got Canadian. The u1 is unlocked and just u carrier version.

I don't understand your response. I know the w is Canada variant. My question is if this version supports all US Tmobile bands.

Actually, the bands supported by the phone don't change based on which SIM is inserted. Either the phone supports all the frequency bands broadcast by the towers used by your carrier, or it doesn't. The supported bands are fixed by the SOC's modem.
The good news, it seems from what I looked up, is that your device does support all of the bands that T-Mobile uses, which are 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, and 71. As I understand it, 66 and 71 are the ones used the most because of their extended range.
You should be good to go.
