Hi E K.  Here are the rules for .ca registration:

http://www.cira.ca/assets/Documents/Legal/Registrants/CPR.pdf

As you can see, variou categories of people/corporations can hold .ca 
domains.  I certainly held .ca domains as a Canadian permanent resident 
(I'm a citizen now) and I don't recall having to supply my PR card number, 
or any other number.  More recently, I haven't had to supply my Canadian 
passport number either.

Essentially a person or corporation must have a 'Connection to Canada' to 
register a .ca domain.

Cheers,

Rob
