Can a member of the public buy a .ca here?
Not established. .ca was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-10-26. That is a fact about the page we read, not a finding that the registrar does not sell it.
Why it is not ranked
No public storefront: the site opens only a sign-in page.
Namespaces on its own page
No namespace list could be read from the page.
What its page printed
netfirms.ca and netfirms.com redirect to a sign-in page ("LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT"; "Netfirms is becoming Netfirms by Network Solutions"); no public domain or price page.
Read from https://www.netfirms.ca/ on 2026-10-26. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.
How the Canada storefronts were read
CIRA's .CA Marketplace, which CIRA says lists all .CA Certified Registrars, was read on 2026-09-29 (34 registrars once "View all certified providers" was opened), and 11 storefronts were opened from it. GoDaddy and Namecheap refused the read, Hover and easyDNS show US dollars, and HostPapa shows a bare "$". CanSpace, WHC and Rebel print .ca in Canadian dollars, but no page read states whether GST/HST is included, so no store is ranked. On 2026-10-20 the 2 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 2 were read this time, 0 still could not be, and none of those read prints a comparable .ca price. On 2026-10-08, 19 storefronts were read by hand from their own .ca pricing pages: 3 already listed here now carry a comparable .ca price, and 16 were opened for the first time, 0 of them with a comparable price. On 2026-10-26, 10 storefronts were read by hand, looking for a page that states the tax treatment of its .ca price: 7 were added and 3 re-read, and the number with a comparable .ca price went from 3 to 9.
