PROJECTS

Easy way to meet new friends while traveling

We know that traveling abroad to visit our beloved ones could be challenging. Starting with our sons or daughters busy and living their routine, and you not familiar with English and imagining a good time to relax, visit new places and create good memories. Did you imagine a situation where you could travel anywhere around Canada without anything like that to holding you back?

ABOUT

Background

International migration remains the main driver of growth in the country. Canada welcomed 113,699 immigrants in the first quarter of 2022, the highest number of immigrants in any first quarter since 1946 when quarterly data became available.

Every year, British Columbia receives around 40 thousand new immigrants and 150 thousand of international students. This means that the relatives who remained in the country of origin will eventually come to visit them.

This is why we created amigoes. A platform that connects senior travellers who speak the same language and share similar interests to discover places in British Columbia – Canada and translate images in real-time to their native language.
