How to Register a Domain Name in Ontario
In Ontario, Canada, you can register a domain name with the Canadian .CA extension. This includes domain names that end in .COM.CA and .ORG.CA. In Canada, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority is the authority that manages all .CA domains for the country. The CIRA accredits domain name registrars, which are the organizations that actually sell and register domain names to the Canadian public. When you find a domain name that you like in Ontario, you can register it on your own.
