  Hi there,

  It looks like you already cancelled that domain on 24 June and it’s no longer on our system.

  When you cancel a domain, you give up ownership of the domain, meaning that once the registrar releases it, anyone can register it. It appears that this is what happened in this case: your domain was registered through Tucowsdomains on 29 July, 5 days after you cancelled it. If it wasn’t you who registered it, that means someone else now owns that domain and you won’t be able to use it.
