Guys, I am an Indian.. can I register a .ca domain name? I don't know anyone in canada. Does any one know abt the Indian act? Thx, Ravi.
ha ha okie.. I will let U know. Hey by the way I live in US now.. not good enough? Say I have a frnd in canada and I give his address but My name and my card details? Would that be okie then?
Well, you need to be a Canadian Citizen or be in Canada to register. Here is the low down of who can register http://www.cira.ca/official-doc/47.RPPG_00006EN.txt It appears that the only person who can be a non-resident and can sign up for a .ca domain name is the Queen of England
No, by the terms of the contract you cannot. The only way you can do that is that you are a person with a spilt personality and your 'friend' is your other personality What you are proposing is really going against the term of agreement when you sign up and impersonating someone who you are not can be a crime in some places. You are supposed to keep accurate information and if you cannot prove that you qualify to sign up for a .CA domain name at the time of signing, you could lose the domain name and more. There are so many other TLD domain names which you can use so there is no real need to use the .ca anyways.
k.. Guess then I will ask my friend who is a resident of Canada to get the name and transfer it to me. Can a .ca name be transferred to me(To a non resident of Canada)? Thx.
No, it cannot because whoever owns the .ca must qualify to own it. So you can only transfer it to someone who qualifies.
You might get it but would always face the possibility that CIRA.ca would find out and take it back - and you would lose all your efforts and traffic to your website. Is it worth it?
Guess I will ask my frnd to register it. He's a citizen of Canada. Now the actual thing- he also lives in USA now.. wondering if he has a house address there in canada now
I like to have a variety of names with me.. so I cannot just ignore .ca as it is a good extension too..
Guys, What if my friend registers it.. he is a citizen of Canada.. But I really don't know if he has a permanent address there now Because he's moved to USA too Now. Any Idea of what can be done? Thx.
Well, the option would be to move to Canada and register the domain and for as long as the domain name exists, you have to maintain an address there which you be contactable.
