The .CA domain name is the official Top Level Domain (TLD) for Canadian individuals, businesses, and organizations. The .CA registry, CIRA, only allows .CA domains to be registered by Canadians or entities with a strong Canadian presence.
The Canadian Presence Requirements (CPR) to be eligible to register a .CA domain:
Individuals:
- Canadian citizen
- Permanent resident
- Legal representative
- Aboriginal peoples
Non-individuals:
- Corporation
- Trademark registered in Canada
- Official marks
- Association
- Trust
- Partnership
- Educational institution
- Library, archive, or museum
- Hospital
- Government
Registering a .CA domain name is easy. Yet, due to the Canadian presence requirement, it has that extra step within the application process as you must select the CPR category to show your connection to Canada. For more information, please visit our CPR help page.
