Important .ca Information : : :
.ca - You are about to apply for a domain name registration in the .ca registry.

Please note that CIRA, the organization that operates the .ca registry, requires everyone

who registers a domain name in the .ca registry to meet the .ca Canadian Presence

Requirements (CPR) (you can find these at: http://www.cira.ca/en/cat_Registration.html).

If you do not meet any of the Canadian Presence Requirements please do not apply for a

.ca domain name.

If you do not meet the Canadian Presence Requirements when you apply for a

registration, CIRA may reject your Registration Request. If you do not meet the Canadian

Presence Requirements and after you are granted a .ca domain name registration, CIRA

may cancel all your domain name registrations.”.
