With over a million South Asians across the city and its suburbs, Toronto has more potential matches than anywhere else in Canada, but long commutes and busy jobs make meeting them hard. On NRI Hearts you can look for members in Toronto and across Ontario by community and religion; the box above shows who is looking right now.
Every NRI Hearts profile is email-verified and manually reviewed before it goes live; we do not check marital status, visa or employment, so do your own checks too (how to verify an NRI match). You can check kundali compatibility before you talk, and see what each verification badge covers.
