Consumers and business owners are still thriving online as storefronts reopen across the country

OTTAWA, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The pandemic is still shaping Canadian businesses’ and creators’ digital migration as the number of .CA domains registered still exceeds pre-pandemic levels. CIRA has looked into the trends that have popped up from April to September 2021 to understand the evolving dynamic of Canadians’ online behaviour.  

Leveraging registry and provincial data, third-party vendors, and publicly available information, CIRA’s new .CA Insights Report shows that the demand for creating a Canadian website still remains strong. Consumers' online shopping habits are still going strong as four out of the top 10 visited .CA sites in Canada are related to e-commerce.

The findings from the new Q3 report have confirmed most of the trends seen in the first quarter, with a few exceptions.
