Date.ca Review
Date.ca is one of Canada’s leading online dating sites. It is owned by Spark Network, which has been in existence since the early days of the Internet. You can be confident in this site; it mirrors the company’s other well-established, successful sites such as JDate and American Singles. If you live in Canada and have been disappointed by signing up for other sites which list very few matches in your area, check out Date.ca.

Free memberships provide limited interactivity with other members, but the price to upgrade to a Premium membership is very reasonable. Premium features are very comparable with other sites in this price range. For example, you will be able to email, instant message, and video chat. Like the Date.ca site says, a one-month membership is less than the cost of a night on the town. So… why not give it a try? |

Organization / Ease of Use
With just a few clicks and a few minutes’ time, your profile will be complete. From there, you will be ready to search profiles and find a connection. Date.ca makes this easy. The site is well-organized and simple to use. The tabs at the top of the main screen will help you find your way around. The left-hand side of the main page also organizes all your communication. It keeps track of emails, hot lists, and more.
The site is very intuitive, but, if needed, customer care is available by phone or via email. |

Member Interactivity
Standard (free) members can:
See which members are online
Use “Hot Lists” – As you search, mark profiles so you can come back and give them some extra attention later…maybe even flirt a little.
Send “Flirts” – Interested in someone? Choose from Date.ca’s list of one-line icebreakers to get communication started.
Receive “Click” alerts – Each profile you view will allow you to indicate if you would be interested in the other member. Click either the “yes,” “no,” or “maybe” button. If both of you click “yes,” Date.ca will send you a notice. But it’s up to you to take it from there!
Receive matches via email
In addition, members who upgrade to a Premium account can:
Initiate and receive email
Instant message
Access video chat
Fully access message boards
Send personalized e-cards
Check a potential mate’s astrologic compatibility |
