I am using WPML to translate/duplicate my pages and Yoast for my SEO.

I duplicated my pages and assigned a canonical url. E.g, example.com/sg/page1, example/com/uk/page1

Our main issue is that Google Search Console is throwing us with an error "page is not indexed duplicate google chose different canonical than user". We also added some changes to these duplicate pages like adding the country name, re arranging team members, etc yet we still got this error.

I reached out with Yoast and they said I need to remove these duplicate pages to my sitemap. Would that fix my indexing issue?
