Go to https://www.paypal.com/ca/
Click on the Sign Up button at top right corner.
Select your country, language and account type, individual or business.
Fill in all the details which includes your email
Click “Agree and Create Account”
Once account is created you need to verify and you will get the verification code to verify your account. Here email authentication is required. Email authentication helps email providers like MSN Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Gmail distinguish legitimate PayPal emails from fraudulent ones.

So when you are sent a verification link to your email account that you entered when creating PayPal account all you need is to click on it to verify your account and it authenticates your email automatically and you don’t need to do anything.

With this the PayPal server recognizes your email and you receive all notifications from PayPal at this email as well as when you do your online transaction the email is verified and the PayPal server approves it.

Therefore your destination email address must match the email address you have on file in your PayPal account.

For example, if your PayPal account address is set to paul@paultheoctopus.ca and an email from that account is forwarded to a MSN Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail account (paul@yahoo.ca), you must update your PayPal address to reflect the destination address (paul@yahoo.ca).
