.CA Domain Surpasses One Million Registrations – The .ca domain surpassed one million active registrations on April 11. Subsequently the number as posted on the CIRA website has fallen slightly below the one million mark, due to normal domain expiries which may often exceed new registrations on weekends. The number is expected to surpass and remain above one million soon.
