This extension is the official top level domain of Canada.
Because of the restriction, having a domain name in this extension clearly shows your membership to the country.
Owner:
An organization registered in Canada
Or
A canadian citizen over 18
Or
A permanent resident in Canada
Or
A Canadian valid trademark owned by the registrant: the domain name must be exactly the same as the registered trademark.
There is no specific procedure related to the registration of a domain name.
.CA domain names are allocated on a "first come, first served" basis.
In order to transfer your domain name to Netim, you must disable transfer protections and obtain the authorisation code from your current Registrar.
The transfer may take several days.
When the transfer is finalised, a year is added to the expiry date of the domain name.
To change the holder, you must first go through an authentication process.
To that end, validation emails will be sent to both current and future domain holders.
After a period of 5 days, the request will be cancelled.
The domain expiration date is not affected by the transfer process.
Some additional information may be requested in order to register a domain. In general, this information is collected by the registries in order to identify the owner, verify that he complies with the registration rules, etc. Here are the additional fields needed for this extension.
