.CA domain registration requirements

The official country-code TLD for Canada is represented by .CA. The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) regulates .CA domains. To be sure that .CA sites are 100% Canadian, anyone registering for a .CA domain must meet certain Canadian Presence Requirements (CPR).

Canadian citizens living outside of Canada can register a .CA domain providing their current address, wherever that may be. Registrants with addresses outside of Canada must provide an up-to-date email address in case the .CA registry needs to get in touch with you.

CIRA enforces a Canadian Presence Requirement or CPR. CPR requires that every registrant must select one of eighteen categories to show their connection to Canada. 

When purchasing your.CA domain name, you’ll need to specify the right contact information (including the extended attributes) to complete the domain registration. Certain country codes, like .CA,  require extra information.

According to CIRA, you can register a .CA domain name in two ways. Select Individual when you're using the domain name for purposes like blogging or creating a web store. Select Organization you’re a company that is legally registered within Canadian law.
