About .ca
.ca is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD); IANA lists the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) as its ccTLD manager. According to CIRA’s Canadian Presence Requirements, those wishing to register a .ca domain must comply with the Canadian presence requirements, and the document lists a number of categories. The individual categories include a Canadian citizen of the age of majority, and a permanent resident of the age of majority who is ordinarily resident in Canada. Other categories include a corporation under the laws of Canada or any province or territory; a person not meeting the other conditions but owning a trade-mark registered in Canada may only apply for a .ca domain name consisting of or including the exact word component of that trade-mark. For the permanent resident category, "ordinarily resident in Canada" means residing in Canada for more than 183 days in the twelve months before the application and in each twelve-month period thereafter for the duration of the registration.

.ca and China ICP filing
.ca is not on the extension list in China’s MIIT “Chinese Internet domain name system” page. Alibaba Cloud’s filing guide says suffixes not on the list cannot be used for ICP filing and that the registrar must also be approved by MIIT; being listed is a precondition only, not a guarantee that filing succeeds.

How is the 3-year cost for .ca calculated?
3-year cost = registration + renewal × 2 in a unified currency basis (CNY at the snapshot fx version). Taxes excluded; renewals for years 2–3 are estimated at current prices and not guaranteed; promo prices shown separately with their own conditions.
Where does the .ca data come from and how fresh is it?
Daily snapshots of the nazhumi.com open API across all quoting registrars. Page version: 2026-10-16 17:12 UTC. Failed per-suffix rounds keep the last published quote and are marked stale.
How much does a .ca renewal cost, and is it the same as the first year?
On list prices, the lowest first-year .ca quote is from TFhost: US$6.76 for the first year and US$6.76 to renew, so renewal costs the same as the first year.

This applies to second-level registrations. A local presence is required for second-level registrations. Check the registrar's terms before you register.
Does the root zone publish a DS record for .ca?
Yes. The root zone publishes a DS record for .ca, so the extension has a DNSSEC trust anchor in the root. Whether you can enable DNSSEC on your own domain depends on the registrar.
