ImmigrateAI Global

In 2024, Medyk launched ImmigrateAI Global, a software company that applies AI to the immigration process. Often described as "the TurboTax for immigration," the platform assists users in preparing visa and permanent residency applications, flagging red flags, generating documentation checklists, and providing personalized recommendations.

ImmigrateAI Global received support and funding from Invest Nova Scotia and Springboard Atlantic. The platform expanded rapidly, reaching over 30,000 users in 140 countries by the end of 2024. Its two flagship tools are Student Visa Express and PR Compass.

In June 2025, Medyk launched PR Compass, an AI-powered tool designed to help healthcare workers, construction professionals, and other high-demand skilled immigrants navigate Canada’s PR system. The launch event was hosted by Nova Scotia Health and attended by government officials including Minister Jill Balser and MLA John A. MacDonald.

Medyk has led the company into several strategic partnerships, including with liv.rent, CanApply, and Re-Defined. He has also presented at Web Summit Vancouver 2025, where ImmigrateAI Global signed two MOUs with CanApply, a Canadian edtech platform, and Re-Defined, a career platform.

Advocacy and Recognition

Medyk’s work has been featured in several media outlets including CTV News, Global News, Entrevestor, and Invest Nova Scotia. His platforms have been credited with helping reduce visa refusals and inefficiencies, particularly among international students.
