How to transfer a domain from your existing registrar to dotCanada

How to Transfer a Domain to dotCanada.com
At dotCanada.com, we make it easy to transfer your existing domain names to our service. Follow these simple steps to initiate a domain transfer:

  1. Unlock Your Domain First, you need to unlock your domain at your current registrar. This allows the transfer process to proceed. The steps vary by registrar, but typically you:

Log into your account
Find the domain management section
Locate the "unlock" or "transfer" option for your domain
Follow the prompts to unlock/allow transfers

  1. Obtain the Authorization Code Your current registrar will provide you with an EPP Authorization Code (sometimes called a transfer code). This verifies you as the owner and authorizes the transfer.
  2. Initiate the Transfer at dotCanada.com

Log into your dotCanada.com account
Go to the "Domains" section
Click "Transfer Domains"
Enter the domain you wish to transfer
Provide the EPP Authorization Code
Complete the transfer order process

  1. Wait for Confirmation The transfer process can take up to 7 days. We will notify you by email:

When the transfer is initiated
Requesting confirmation to proceed
When the transfer is completed successfully
That's it! Once the transfer is done, you can manage your domain at dotCanada.com. We make domain transfers easy with:
No transfer fees for .ca, .com, .net, .org
Free Whois privacy
Secure DNS hosting included
24/7 support from our Canadian team
