In January 2013, CIRA began offering registration in French, fully catering to both the nation's official languages. CIRA noted that implementing French-language characters is a more challenging and complex process than it may appear to be. For example, the domain "préside.ca" could have 62 different spelling variations depending on the choice of characters used. Therefore, it was important for CIRA to develop a number of policies to simplify the procedure. Consequently, CIRA created a bundling policy that removes the necessity to register every special-character variant of an existing .CA domain.<ref>[http://www.digitalhome.ca/2013/01/cira-launches-french-language-domain-names/ CIRA Launches French Language Domain Names, DigitalHome.ca]Published 14 Jan 2013, Retrieved 15 Jan 2013</ref>
