No, not until they are accepted and approved by CIRA sometime on, or nearly
after November 1st.
Consider "advance-registration" the same as being on a waiting list. There
is no guarantee you'll get it.
Here's an example:
a) User Advance-Registers "helloworld.ca" on Sept 19
b) Another person registers "helloworld.ca" under the existing UBC Registry
rules (since they own a trademark for the name helloworld)
c) On November 1st, the first User's Advance-Registration is DENIED.
>Now, *new* domains are not supposed to show up there until November 1st,
>according to CIRA... is that right ?
Right.
