CIRA publishes the weekly list and runs a registrar-only release session. Consumers place orders through participating registrars and still have to satisfy Canadian Presence Requirements.
These services offer a catch, queue or auction path for .ca. They are not necessarily independent networks,
so check the custody and collision notes before placing duplicate orders.

These providers publish only a broad total or resolve eligibility in a private/live search without naming .ca.
Domain.Guru will not turn “100+ TLDs” into an invented extension list.
Compare 4 listed services for .ca: CatchDrop, Dynadot, Register.ca, Webnames.ca. Coverage comes from provider lists, named examples or an identified registry portfolio. Each card explains its basis; an extension listing does not guarantee eligibility for a particular domain. Unverified catalogues are listed separately.
Will a .ca backorder go to auction?
1 confirmed service route uses a public auction, 1 use a private auction among eligible order holders, and 0 accept a no-auction route. The exact outcome depends on which service catches the name and whether another customer ordered it.
Does backordering guarantee a .ca domain?
No. The current holder may renew, a registrar pre-release partner may sell it before the public drop, another catcher may win, or .ca registry eligibility rules may prevent delivery.
Should I compare the .ca renewal price before backordering?
Yes. A catch fee is only the acquisition cost. The winning registrar's renewal, transfer lock, account custody and auction fee can matter more over several years. Domain.Guru links the price board when a verified .ca market exists.
