Second-level domain
September 2020
January 2016
.gc.ca is a privately held second-level domain in the .ca top-level domain. It is used by the Government of Canada and operated by Government Telecommunications and Informatics Services, which holds all third level domains under the .gc.ca banner.
In 2012, the government of Canada launched a plan to move all federal government sites to a single domain, "canada.ca".August 23, 2024 Government of Canada domains and URLs https://design.canada.ca/specifications/mandatory-elements/domains-urls.html Digital Transformation Office design.canada.ca Government of Canada August 23, 2024 Employment and Social Development Canada All public-facing Government of Canada websites must use the Canada.ca domain, with one exception. Websites specifically intended for current or former Government of Canada employees may use the .gc.ca domain. To ensure consistency and enhance trust, all other public-facing sites, including those requiring a login, must use the Canada.ca domain. 2017-01-19 About Canada.ca https://www1.canada.ca/en/newsite.html 17 March 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170316143646/http://www1.canada.ca/en/newsite.html 16 March 2017 live However, much of the plan was abandoned in 2017, with only a handful of departments and agencies such as the Canada Revenue Agency relocating; most government sites will remain under their domains for the foreseeable future.Roman Karina Federal government to downsize failing Canada.ca project http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-government-to-downsize-failing-canada-ca-project-1.4202563 5 November 2017 CBC 13 July 2017
In addition to many official government websites, a process has been implemented where many of the Canadian diplomatic mission locations also have gc.ca domains as well. (i.e. the Canadian High Commission in Barbados has a forwarding service from "barbados.gc.ca", or similarly the Consulate-General in Boston as "boston.gc.ca".)
