What "Suspended" Domains Are:
When a dot-ca domain reaches 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, only 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 period" every Wednesday.
How To Register These Domains:
Due to the high demand for many TBR domains,
CIRA has a special registration period before returning them to the pool
of available domains.
We have teamed up with our affiliate registrars to submit registration
requests as soon as the domain name enters this special registration period.
This provides the best possible chances of registering a domain name before
it gets released to the public.

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

lists of TBR domain names that will be released.
* 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.
