What "Suspended" Domains Are:
When a dot-ca domain is not renewed by its expiration date, it becomes suspended.
A domain name remains suspended for 30-45 days. A 30 day Redemption period
follow the suspension period. During this extended period, the domain
owner may reactivate the domain name and retain ownership by renewing it.
What "TBR" Domains Are:
TBR stands for "
To Be Released".
When a dot-ca domain is not renewed within the suspension and redemption
periods, it is “deleted’” and becomes TBR(To Be Released).
The domain names in TBR status become available for registration during
a "
special registration session" every Wednesday.
How To Register These Domains:
Due to the high demand for many TBR domains,
CIRA has a special registration session before returning them to the pool
of available domains.
We have teamed up with our affiliate registrars to submit registration
requests as soon as this special registration session opens.
This provides the best possible chances of registering a domain name before
it gets released to the public.

name? Be the first one to register it when it becomes TBR!
Using online
TBR reservation system you can sign up for as many TBR
domains as you like.

list of TBR domain names.
* We cannot guarantee
that your domain will be registered successfully but reserving it is risk
free. You will only pay if the domain is successfully registered and awarded
to you.
