The problem appears to be with the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation, or CASL.
As the National Post explains it: The 2014 legislation bans "unsolicited commercial email, the installation of software without consent, deceptive online marketing, harvesting email addresses in bulk, and collecting personal details with spyware."
Here's what a "Jeopardy!" spokesperson told the publication: "As international laws governing how information is shared over the Internet are ever-changing and complex, we are currently investigating how we can accept registrations from potential Canadian contestants. The 'Jeopardy!' Adult, Teen, and College tests have already taken place this year, and we are making every effort to find a solution before the next round of testing is available."

In the ultimate of ironies, "Jeopardy's" iconic host, Alex Trebek, is from Greater Sudbury, Canada.
