The Extension
Why .ca?
.ca is Canada's country-code extension, and its eligibility rule is its brand: CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements reserve it for Canadian citizens, permanent residents, Canadian-incorporated entities and holders of registered Canadian trade-marks. A .ca address is therefore a verifiable claim of Canadian identity, not just a styling choice.
For businesses serving Canadians that translates into trust and search relevance — Google geotargets .ca to Canadian queries. Registration is instant for eligible registrants, you confirm your presence category at checkout, and our anycast DNS answers from the first minute. CIRA also withholds individual registrants' contact details from the public WHOIS by default.
Good Fit
.ca works best for
- Canadian businesses and incorporated entities
- Citizens' and residents' personal or professional sites
- Canadian charities, communities and campaigns
- Canadian-market sites of trade-mark-holding international brands

Common Questions
Questions about .ca
Who can register a .ca domain?
Anyone meeting CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements: Canadian citizens and permanent residents, corporations and other entities formed in Canada, Indigenous peoples of Canada, and owners of trade-marks registered in Canada, among other defined categories. You declare your category at registration.
Can a foreign company get a .ca?
Only through a qualifying route — most commonly incorporating in Canada or holding a registered Canadian trade-mark for the name. For international brands serious about the Canadian market, the trade-mark route is the usual path.
Is a .ca better than a .com for a Canadian business?
For a Canadian audience, frequently yes: it geotargets Canadian search, and the eligibility rules give it a trust weight generic extensions lack. Many businesses hold both — .ca as the storefront for Canada, .com redirected or serving international visitors.
