OK,much appreciat itNot sure, I would ask the registrar or consult with @MapleDots or someone else who is in the .ca market
Thanks!you have to be a Canadian citizen or a business operating in Canada
Thanks very much ,Bob!As others have said .ca are restricted to ownership by those with a Canadian presence. For the most part that means Canadian residency for individuals, or a business or organization registered in Canada. If you don't meet these you should not be considering ways to register .ca domains.
While some would prefer a more open registration, I think there are good reasons for this. Canada has tough anti spam and do not call legislation. By restricting the domain registrations to those subject to the laws of Canada it helps keep the reputation of the extension strong. Ca has an abuse reputation among the best of all extensions (many, by no means all other country codes are good too).
The second reason is that when you own a .ca you also have the right to take part in decisions about the extension through CIRA. Everyone who owns a .ca can join CIRA free, run for office, vote for the board, attend events, etc. It is an extension essentially owned and controlled by those who use it, rather different from the companies and governments that control most extensions.
There are about a thousand available extensions. If you don't have a legitimate Canadian presence please don't try to circumvent rules.

THANKS VERY MUCH!.ca has strict rules - you need to be Canadian or own a Canadian business.
if you are neither than you can't
Bob,iI wonder if i could use others ID who come from Canada if i reg .ca domain?As others have said .ca are restricted to ownership by those with a Canadian presence.

I got it,but i care for this name so...so...much! any other ways?No. Don't try to circumvent rules. If you do not have a legitimate Canadian presence do not try to register a .ca. Just stop.

Thanks very much!Another option is to lease it from a Canadian...not sure if OP plans on developing site.
