Oh yeah, and the Queen. The other good news is that you can register as many dot.ca's as you want. The bad news is that it's no longer free. After completing the registration process with your chosen registrar, you will receive an e-mail that includes a User ID and password, which you will need to enter on CIRA's secure Website in order to accept the Registrant Agreement . While some people have been able to register a dot.ca with ease and are now enjoying their new domain, others are finding it difficult to determine whether or not their pre-registration has been processed.
Nobody seems to be able to answer that question.
So, if you were on the edge of your seat waiting for November 8, and you thought that you could register your dot.ca, start uploading your Web pages, and begin advertising your new site, you might need to sit back. Or, you might be lucky. Now, if you have an existing dot.ca, you're not off the hook, either. It doesn't matter whether or not your domain is up for renewal. And you never know if someone is waiting for the December 1 deadline to scoop up the precious dot.ca that had to work so hard for in the past.
