Canadian Registration Information

Registration Overview

The Canadian domain landscape has changed. The .ca registry, once run by a co-operative under the University of British Columbia, was transitioned to a new, non-profit corporation (CIRA) on November 1, 2000. 

Essentially, the only restrictions for new .ca registrations are that the registrant must be any of the following:

• Canadian citizens / Permanent Canadian resident or legal representative of aforementioned

• Canadian corporations, trusts, partnerships. and associations

Registration Process

During the registration process, CIRA will email the administrative contact of the domain to confirm the application is correct and the registrant accepts the terms and conditions of the agreement. The administrative contact will have 7 days hours to visit the CIRA site to confirm the registration and accept the registration and accept their terms and conditions.
