It used to be much, much tighter, but I'm going back to the 1990's for this. Back then you needed to have a real-life presence across the country to get a top level .CA domain. Otherwise you needed to get one in a provincial subdomain, like .QC.CA or .ON.CA.

Provinces might even demand that you get a municipal level subdomain.

But no more.

I seem to remember needing to show proof, like articles of incorporation...but that might have been for getting a VeriSign certificate.

Last time I registered a . CA domain there was no verification of anything.

    my registrar required a Canadian billing address, but I think a PO box was acceptable, so probably wouldn't stop someone outside Canada from registering as long as they could get a PO box here.
