REQUIREMENTS
Local presence required, unless the foreign entity is the holder of a Canadian trademark (not any other trademark valid in Canada) or the Individual is a Canadian citizen. Please, refer carefully to mandatory fields.

Please note that Registrants with Local Presence should always provide their full legal status (for example abc company ltd, or abc company inc.)

Trademark Number
This is only applicable when domain is based on a trademark. The domain has to be either an exact match of the trademark, or a domain name that includes a registered mark. For example, when the company owns the trademark for abccompany, they can register abccompany.ca or something like Iloveabccompany.ca as long as the name of the trademark is contained within the domain. Please note that if the trademarks that are hyphenated are now accepted by the registry. Please note that the Trademark should be registered and the address details in the Registration order must be those of the trademark holder.

Important information: Registrant Information Validation (RIV)
Registrant Identity Verification (RIV) requests will be sent by CIRA to the registrant's email that they have on file and if no responses are received the domains associated with the invalid email address will be deleted.
