FYI: You don't need a Canadian address to register a .ca domain.nicorlino said:Do they act as the canadian address for you?
No. This is also one of the most misunderstood part of the "Canadian presence requirements" for .ca domains.P10n33R said:I think this says you do.

Does it not?
Well ... if you read the linked above more carefully, you can tell that there are 18 different ways to fulfill the "Canadian presence requirements". Basically, you need to be a Canadian (individual or corporation) to be eligible. But then it would be difficult to enforce except by asking the registrant to explicitly sign a TOS during registration (and that is why registering a .ca domain is a more complicated process). HOWEVER, having a Canadian address does NOT necessarily mean that you are Canadian, or vice versa. Of course, there are some silly registrars out there using simply the address field to filter out ineligible registrants. Hope this answer your question.fryman04 said:Nameslave, I passed many good domains because of the canadian restriction, could you give more datails about it? I was sure you needed to be a canadian or live in Canada to get a .ca domain.
