    Hello, as the title says, I am unable to do the transfer as I keep getting the message ‘portuguesa.ca can’t be transferred, but you can connect it instead.’

    I do have a transfer code so I’m not sure why this option is not available for me. I don’t want to pay extra to connect it.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Only the transfer option is available, I already changed the DNS in godaddy to point at wordpress but still can’t get the connect option.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No

    Hi there,

    I understand that you’re trying to transfer your domain portuguesa.ca to your WordPress.com site. However, I’d like to inform you that WordPress.com does not support the transfer of ‘.ca’ domains. Don’t worry; I have another solution for you.

    Instead of transferring the domain, you can simply connect it to your WordPress.com site. In order to do this, you’ll need to upgrade to one of our paid plans. I understand that you may be hesitant to pay for an upgrade, so I’d like to recommend our Personal plan. This plan is our most affordable option, and it will enable you to connect your existing domain.

    Our Personal plan offers a variety of features, including the ability to remove ads, access to email support and a variety of customization options. If you’re interested, you an upgrade below.

    Once you’ve upgraded, you can follow the steps outlined in this guide to connect your domain:

    If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

    If you have any questions or need assistance along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
