The .ca extension is Canada's official country-code domain, first delegated in 1987 and now home to over 3 million active registrations. It signals to both visitors and search engines that your business is rooted in Canada — making it the go-to choice for Canadian businesses, organizations, and anyone who wants to build a credible local presence online.

.ca is exclusively reserved for Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and Canadian-registered organizations — a set of rules known as the Canadian Presence Requirements (CPR), managed by CIRA. That exclusivity is actually a selling point: a .ca domain carries a built-in signal of genuine Canadian presence that .com simply can't offer. You'll be asked to confirm your eligibility during registration.
