Leading matchmaking experts eHarmony now have a site especially for Canadian singles. At eHarmony Canada you take their compatibility test and receive matches that are suited to your personality, your goals and your ambitions.
eHarmony.ca gives Canadian singles access to eHarmony's matchmaking service. eHarmony began in the US and thanks to its TV commercials has become a household name in online dating.
Founded by Dr. Neil Warren, a dating and relationship expert, eHarmony claims to create more successful relationships by way of its scientifically inspired matchmaking. And they certainly have a long track record to prove it.
The Compatibility Test
To start on eHarmony you have to begin by taking the compatibility test. This will help you find a match with someone who is compatible with you on the most important levels.
To begin the test, simply visit the home page or open up their app.
You'll need to allow around 30-45 minutes to complete the questionnaire in full.
It is designed to examine all aspects of your personality, including facets such as humor, ambition, beliefs and lifestyle among other things.
You can join and take your compatibility test for free.
Reviewing your Matches
As a free member, you'll be able to see who your matches are after taking the test. But, you will need a paid membership in order to contact anyone.
Once you become a paying member you'll have more freedom. You'll be able to view profiles in full, including all photos.
Gone are the days of eHarmony's guided communication. Now you can strike up a natural conversation with any of your matches.
Further more paid members can widen their searches beyond the official matches that come about through the compatibility test - effectively this makes using eHarmony far more like other dating sites.
Preferences
Over the last few years eHarmony has improved their service following customer feedback. One of the biggest improvements is to allow people greater control over the matches they receive.
Under match preferences you'll be able set the criteria that your matches must meet. eHarmony will then only send you people you are compatible with and who match the specific criteria you've added.
Preferences allow you to set religious beliefs, education, how far away they can be and so on.
In Brief
eHarmony Canada is best suited to those who want to leave the matchmaking up to someone else (that someone being their scientifically inspired algorithm). If you are willing to let science act as cupid, eHarmony is worth a try.
Those uncomfortable or unwilling to examine themselves at length are not likely to find themselves suited to eHarmony.
