1. I believe you have to be a citizen to purchase a .ca domain
2. Just do a google search for "register domain canada" (no quotes) and you'll see a list of folks who offer domain registration services for your country.
3. http://www.namespro.ca/ seems like a decent place to buy it. You can search '.ca registrar' on google and find other results.
4. The best way to buy a domain for free is to purchase your domain and webhosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some webhosting companies offer this as a gift . The best one is hostmonster webhosting since they offer unlimited bandwidth and free domain with their webhosting package.I also like the fact that on every signup they give you $100 credits to advertise your website with the google & yahoo search engines for free. http://www.hostmonster.com/track/hostmonsterwebhosting/
5. As you may know domain is just a name, not areal website. In other words, if you are going to create your website you must: 1- Buy a domain name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. Take into consideration that web hosting is a global service, it is not important you are located in Au, UK, Ca or US. And also the cost of hosting services in UK & Au generally is a little high in compared with the same services in CA & US. If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today. As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
