McGill University doesn't use an .edu domain, I tried signing up in case they included it anyway but got nothing.

That's interesting... (and a little too bad for you, since a lot of systems will give you student discounts and all just for the .edu email address), how come it is that way? Is that a thing with a lot of Canadian universities, or?

[loarake]

Yeah it's a shame. The wiki page for ".edu" specifies "Since 2001, new registrants to the domain have been required to be United States-affiliated institutions of higher education, though before then non-U.S.-affiliated—and even non-educational institutions—registered, with some retaining their registrations to the present."

So it definitely has a US bias.

I’m not aware of a Canadian university with a .edu. Most use .ca.

I used my [e-mail] (Laval University in Quebec city, Quebec, Canada) and it worked !
