Once a .ca name (or its provincial variant) has been registered, all other variants of that name are blocked to other registrants. For example, if the name smith.on.ca was registered by Jessica Smith, then only Jessica Smith could register smith.qc.ca (or any other provincial variant) or smith.ca.
Jessica Smith can also grant permission to any other party that is eligible for .ca names to register one or some of the other variants of her name.
To place a request for a .blocked. name, simply enter the order as you normally would for a .ca name. Our systems will determine that the name has other variants, and will engage the blocker process. The system emails the administrative contacts of all the .blocking. domains to get their approval. If all blocking parties agree to grant the new name, our system will send the registration command to Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA).
If the parties do not agree, we will cancel your request.
