How the .ca WHOIS lookup works

Live .ca results from CIRA's authoritative RDAP server.

1Step 1

Enter a .ca domain name

Type the .ca domain into the search box. .ca is restricted to Canadian entities — only Canadians can register .ca domains.

2Step 2

FetchWhois queries CIRA's RDAP server

CIRA (Canadian Internet Registration Authority) operates .ca. We resolve the RDAP endpoint via IANA and query live.

3Step 3

Read the .ca registration record

Registrar, dates, status, nameservers and DNSSEC data are returned.

.ca domains: Canada's trusted ccTLD

.ca is the ccTLD for Canada, operated by CIRA (Canadian Internet Registration Authority). Unlike most ccTLDs, .ca has strict Canadian Presence Requirements (CPR): only Canadian citizens, permanent residents, corporations with a registered Canadian presence, or entities meeting specific criteria can register .ca domains. This restriction makes .ca a trusted signal of Canadian identity — if a website uses .ca, it is operated by a Canadian entity.

WHOIS lookups for .ca domains use CIRA's RDAP server, returning standard registration data. CIRA's privacy policy limits public WHOIS data — personal registrant details are not publicly exposed, though registrar and technical data are shown. .ca has over 3 million active registrations and strong domestic adoption. DNSSEC is fully supported.
