According to http://cira.ca/faq-canadian-presence-requirements/

"What are Canadian Presence Requirements?"
"Canadian presence requirements are criteria that classify Registrants
according to legal type (e.g., as a company or an individual). The legal
type determines whether Registrants are eligible to register dot-ca
domain names and ensures that Registrants have a legal connection to
Canada. CIRA requires potential Registrants to establish Canadian
presence requirements before granting them a dot-ca domain."

"What is a legal type?"
"A legal type is a category that classifies a Registrant’s legal status
in Canada as defined in the document Canadian Presence Requirements for
Registrants. A dot-ca Registrant must conform to at least one legal type
to meet CIRA’s Canadian presence requirements. The legal type categories
are the following:

1. Canadian citizen
2. Permanent resident of Canada
3. Legal representative of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
4. Corporation (Canada or Canadian province or territory)
5. Trust established in Canada
6. Partnership registered in Canada
7. Canadian unincorporated association
8. Canadian trade union
9. Canadian political party
10. Canadian educational institution
11. Canadian library, archive or museum
12. Canadian hospital
13. Her Majesty the Queen
14. Indian band recognized by the Indian Act of Canada
15. Aboriginal Peoples (individuals and groups) indigenous to Canada
16. Government or government entity in Canada
17. Trade-mark registered in Canada (by a non-Canadian owner)
18. Official marks registered in Canada"

"Where can I find more information on CIRA's Canadian Presence
requirements?"

"For further information, please refer to the document Canadian Presence
Requirements for Registrants
(http://cira.ca/assets/Documents/Legal/Registrants/CPR.pdf)"

Thanks a bunch. I finally did find this document; though really I
should have been able to find it myself. Oy, I'm gettin' old.

Not that it's our business, but which of the below are you?

I'm a Canadian citizen. I presume that RM is as well, or at least that
he falls into one of the first three catagories. CIRA has erected a
privacy boundary around WHOIS information; if the domain lessor falls
into one of the first three categories, WHOIS won't release the
personal information (name, address, phone #, etc) for the domain's
lessor, administration, or technical contact. You have to go through a
cira.ca webpage to contact the domain contact list.
