Canadian domain names are usually suffixed with a ".ca." Though most of the domains are used, there is still a wide variety of available domain names and combinations for the ".ca" domain. Though it is not an absolute rule for Canadians to have a ".ca" when creating their domains or hosts in Canada, firm owners and users are encouraged to use this as a standard. After all, the reason for this plan of action is utmost accessibility and efficient grouping of Canadian domains in the World Wide Web. As people all know, the World Wide Web covers a huge scope of information, addresses, and groups; as such, domains which belong to similar groups or areas are encouraged to follow the standard naming conventions of domain names.

Initially, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is one of the global references for available domain names. Because of its reputation, the company is the main registrar and reference when trying to look for available names. In 2000, however, a new registrar, CIRA (Canadian Internet Registration Authority) was established to be able to create a convention of domain names. Compared to ICANN and other registrars, CIRCA was less lenient. This proved to be an effective method, indeed, because after rules were implemented in 2000, all Canadian citizens, residents and businesses are able to readily to acquire domains with ".ca" extension. From 2000 onwards, it has then been an established condition for Canadians who plan to inquire on available domain names to direct their inquiries and concerns to the CIRA Canadian Office.
