Using a VPN to unblock TikTok?

So there's been a lot of news here in the US that TikTok may be getting blocked or banned soon. I'm not certain on the exact logistics of this, but would a VPN be effective if it's simply blocked in the US? My thought is I could just run a VPN on my phone, connect to a server in Canada or Mexico, and then use TikTok as normal. Would this work?
