The Extension
Why .ca?
.ca is Canada's country-code extension, administered by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA). Canadians notably prefer buying from .ca addresses — the extension reads as local, accountable and subject to Canadian law, which makes it near-essential for businesses serving Canadian customers.
Registration is reserved for those meeting CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements — citizens, permanent residents, Canadian businesses and organisations, and holders of registered Canadian trademarks. For individual registrants, CIRA keeps personal contact details out of the public record by default. Our pricing shows the renewal beside the register price, as everywhere else on this site.
Good Fit
.ca works best for
- Canadian businesses and professionals
- Organisations and nonprofits across Canada
- International brands with Canadian trademarks
- Canadians' personal sites and portfolios

Common Questions
Questions about .ca
Who qualifies to register a .ca domain?
CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements cover citizens, permanent residents, Canadian-registered businesses and organisations, Indigenous peoples of Canada, and foreign companies holding a registered Canadian trademark. You confirm your category when registering.
Can a non-Canadian company get a .ca?
Yes, by one main route: holding a trademark registered in Canada, which satisfies the presence requirement for a matching domain. Otherwise, establishing a Canadian corporation is the standard path for companies expanding into the market.
Is .ca or .com better for a Canadian business?
Serving Canadians, .ca — the local preference is well documented, and the extension aids local search relevance. Selling globally, .com travels further. Established Canadian brands typically hold both and redirect one; if you must pick one first, pick where your customers are.
