Palestinian marriage and matchmaking in Canada
Palestinian Canadians carry a heritage that crossed more borders than most: families born in Nablus, Haifa or Gaza, raised in Amman, Beirut, Kuwait or Mississauga, and now at home in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver. Amanina introduces marriage-minded Palestinian singles — Muslim, Christian and secular — a few at a time, each with a written reason. Your heritage is part of your story here; it is never a filter.
"Where are you from?" has layers
For a Palestinian, the question every aunt asks first has three answers: the village the family is from, the country you were born in, and the city you live in now. A family's story may run through two or three diasporas before Canada, and the person who understands that without needing it explained is rarer than any app's feed suggests.
Amanina makes room for the whole answer. You tell your story in your own words, and it becomes part of how introductions are chosen and explained, so the person who reaches you already knows what "from Yaffa, born in Amman, grew up in Scarborough" means.
Muslim and Christian, one people
Palestine's diaspora is Muslim and Christian, Orthodox and Catholic and Protestant, and many who hold their heritage culturally. Amanina serves all of them. You describe your faith and observance in your own words, and it shapes who you meet; a practising Muslim member is introduced to people who share that path, an Orthodox member likewise, and a member who says "cultural, not religious" is taken at their word.
Heritage in the story, not in the filter
Amanina does not sort members by nationality. There is no Palestinian-only pool, because a pool built on origin would quietly exclude the Jordanian, Lebanese, Syrian or Canadian-born person who might be exactly right. Heritage counts neither for nor against anyone; it shapes the reading, never the eligibility.
Family has a seat, across any border
You can invite a parent or a trusted elder to take part in a structured, respectful way, from Ramallah, Amman or Mississauga alike. They see what you choose to share, when you choose to share it, and a mother can open the door for her adult child and hand it over with consent. Conversations open only when both people say yes; photos stay private until both choose.
In Arabic, verified, no app store
Amanina runs fully in Arabic, right-to-left, alongside English and Canadian French. Every member verifies they are a real person before being introduced to anyone, and honest answers about where you would live shape which introductions reach you. There is no App Store to visit: open amanina.ca in your browser and add it to your home screen.
Common questions

- Amanina introduces marriage-minded Palestinian singles across Canada — Muslim, Christian and secular — with verified members and family able to take part. Heritage is part of your story; it is never a filter.
- I was born in Jordan; does that matter?
- Only as part of your story. You tell Amanina where your family is from, where you were born and where you live, in your own words, and that shapes how introductions are explained. Nationality is never a filter.
- Does Amanina only introduce me to other Palestinians?
- No. Amanina never sorts members by nationality. The right person may be Jordanian, Lebanese, Syrian or Canadian-born.
- Can my family abroad take part?
- Yes. A parent or trusted elder can be invited to take part from anywhere, and sees only what you choose to share, when you choose to share it.
