Canada.ca domain design pattern: Canada.ca design
This pattern is being decommissioned. It has been replaced by the guidance on domains and URLs provided in the mandatory elements section of the Canada.ca Specifications. See the guidance: Government of Canada domains and URLs guidance
Mandatory
The Canada.ca domain is the primary domain for the Government of Canada's public-facing web presence.
On this page
When to use
Use the Canada.ca domain for all public-facing Government of Canada web pages, to ensure consistency and enhance trust. This includes websites or services that are intended for people outside government but require a login to access.
Two approaches can be used:
- with no subdomain, such as https://canada.ca/en/services/jobs.html
- with a subdomain, such as https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation
What to avoid
Do not use the Canada.ca domain for collaborative sites where the Government of Canada is not the main partner.
