If your trying to game .ca from China don’t waste your money, if they take your names away you will be left with nothing.

This CDN personal ID sounds very fishy, I would recommend you avoid such a scenario.
I got it ,The registry once cancelled my domain without refund when i use my Chinese name,so i wanna use someone's ID who comes from Canada? in the past few years,registry in China said only Chinese people can reg .CN domain and needed to provide personal ID ,but seems lots foreigners still owned the .CN domains when i checked at that time.

Many Chinese are foreign nationals, and have business interests, or dual citizenship. Without knows the full bio, it is impossible to tell, until they ask you to verify.

Yes, .ca registry probably put the register on notice when they saw an abnormally high amount of registrations coming from that company.

Why don't you just enter a partnership with a Canadian you trust?

They would obviously still need to own and control the domain .. but if you paid for it and offered a percentage when you sell it then it could be a win-win situation for you both.

Do you know any Chinese people with an active business in Canada - if so, just become a minority owner and use that address. I don't think legally it would be a problem, as you would then be part of a Canadian business.

A lot of Chinese nationals use that technique to prove they have a "Canadian presence" for far more lucrative angles than buying a few domains, so I am quite surprised that the CIRA forbids it.

Yeah, and bring your snow shovels and snow blowers - the winters here are getting to be like Greenland, and only seem to get worse in anticipation of our next Ice Age.

I loved when they called it "Global Warming" until we nearly laughed to death - now it's "Climate Change".

use someone's ID who comes from Canada? That is fraud!

If domain is so important to you, find a Canadian to buy it for you and make a deal to lease it from him/her. The domain is kept in his/her account, redirected it to wherever you want. As long as you make payments, the domain is basically yours

Only way that I can think of, for you to get a .ca and still pass the requirements

I recommend you to forget the TLD .ca (at least as long as you are not a Canadian citizen) and to stay satisfied with the fact that the TLD .cn starts also with a cccc :ROFL:
The TLD .cn has anyway way more potential customers (buyers / endusers) than the TLD .ca (CA ~ 35 m people / CN ~ 1.3 b people).
