It's based on the ranking of the top player only. Nishikori has a protected ranking of #10.
Shapovalov is #12 so he gets Canada in due to the withdrawl of Federer.
US is actually nowhere close. Next players in line to bring their country in are 15 Goffin (Belgium), 18 Wawrinka (Suisse), 19 Dimitrov (Bulgaria), 22 Garin (Chile) then 25 Isner (US)
