Go through this forum and look at the posts from the last month, there were two threads asking exactly that.
If you don't want to go through those 5, 6 pages then use the search function.

Domainsatcost.ca is fine. The Canadina domains there are cheap enough and they have nice domain management interface.

Yes I believe you do have to have to be a Canadian resident.

So if you are not an Canadian permanent resident or citizen, you cannot get an .ca domain? For example with .us is not like that. They ask you if you are either one but at the same time they allow non residents/citizens to register one. I wanted a .ca too but I saw that requirement and I just quit.

.CA domains are for Canadians, businesses or individuals, or companies that have genuine interest (e.g. trademarks) in Canada. I honestly don't see why anybody else would want one.

Then why .us allows non US permanent residents nor citizens to get an .us but .ca does not allow? I can say the same, why would someone want an .us too. See what I meant. Same as with other country domain extensions. There are so many reasons that people would want an extension from whatever country and of course I;m reffering to legal reasons.

I'm gonna bump this old thread to warn people to NOT even think about registering a ca domain with godaddy. They have no staff even remotely familiar with ca domains, CIRA, or even Canada in general. I needed to submit an MCACE request for a friends domain and they had no idea what it was. Of course I couldn't transfer away from them because the person no longer had access to the admin email account so needless to say the whole experience has been (and still continues to be) a nightmare.
www.canspace.ca is currently the cheapest registrar ($9.75 per year) followed by www.netfirms.ca at $9.95 per year. that's my shortlist.

I guess netfirms.ca is fine, if you find a Canadian resident or citizen "relative" to register it for you. CIRA is optional.
