I guess they have a Canadian company somewhere to be brave enough to list a USA address on the domain.

Zuffa LLC participated recently at UDRP hearing for one of the domain names. I think they established some kind of entity in Canada to comply with the requirements. In any case, I emailed to CIRA and asked them to clarify.

Zuffa who purchased ultimatefighting.ca from us is a Las Vegas company. They just recently set up an office in Toronto for the canadian bouts. (may -2010).
The primary TM's are held by Zuffa and as a TM holder they are eligible to register domains in the CIRA system.

It's pretty easy to check a TM, guys.

If you bug CIRA support unnecessarily, they'll push the wholesale rate to 12.00 (Ahh, nevermind, they'll do what they want anyways).

More specifically the non-Canadian holder of a CIPO-registered trademark is allowed to register exactly matching domain name registrations with CIRA: no other domain names!

So could that explain why many US based companies who own .ca domains can get away with not having a Canadian entity set up?
I.e. ownership of the CIPO-registered Canadian trademark "example" by a Nevada corporation would allow said corporation to register example.ca without any otherwise sufficient Canadian presence
