What a .ca WHOIS record shows

Country-code extensions are not bound by ICANN's generic-TLD rules: CIRA decides which fields are published and when an expired name is deleted. The result page shows whatever the registry's RDAP server publishes.

Next to the registration data you get live DNS, SPF/DMARC, the TLS certificate, the HTTPS response and the abuse history of the hosting addresses on ip-db.com. Type just a name (e.g. example) and .ca is added; the same data is available from the JSON API.
