This is a PARTIAL list:

1 . 0123.ca
2 . 0db.ca
3 . 0g.ca

...

17044 . zp.ca
17045 . zucotto.ca
17046 . zusaudio.ca

But don't dream on zp.ca, it's almost 100% been back-ordered by somebody.

 

[peter]

[Anthony Ng]

... but you are in Sweden?

Out of these 17,000+ names, I've pre-booked only 1 - [color=cc0000]chinatrade.ca[/color] - and I got it. LOL!

 

[Sharpy]

ca.ca is not reg'ed

 

[peter]

I meant I wouldnt want one

 

[Anthony Ng]

>sharpboy: ca.ca is not reg'ed

That one is reserved, as are e.g. us.ca, uk.ca, etc.

 

[Sharpy]

Oh sorry, when I checked it at webnames.ca it said it was available..that did seem odd lol

 

[Anthony Ng]

You should check with CIRA at http://www.cira.ca/en/re_whois.html:

Domain: ca.ca is not available
01043 Domain name is restricted.

Are there any canadians here who would register a .ca on my behalf? I would cover your out of pocket expenses etc.

 

[weeps]

Congratulations! Mine is a C (chinatrade.ca), so I got notified at 1:26 p.m.

By the way, I haven't heard from the registrar yet; as usual, I hear from CIRA directly way before that.

The weird thing is.. i got notified at 12:11 by cira.. havnet heard from register either I guess just some registers submitted their lists faster then others.

yes

I've seen .CA domains registered by people from all over the world.

As for all those that dropped, I didn't really try for many. Most that I wanted got renewed at the last minute

yes but if you alert cira of a domain registered to someone outside canada it will be deleted. when you order a .ca domain you have to agree your a canadian citizen.
