Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Halifax-based ImmigrateAI Global for winning third place in the global business competition at the G20 Young Entrepreneurs' Alliance Summit. This is the first time a Nova Scotia company has been recognized on the G20 stage.
Max Medyk, the founder and CEO, had to navigate the immigration system when he came to the United States and then to Canada from Ukraine. This sparked a desire to help others facing the same challenges. ImmigrateAI Global's venture is a platform designed to simplify immigration paperwork for professionals. It has helped to streamline visa applications, reduce costs for applicants and cut refusal rates in 140 countries around the world.
On behalf of all Haligonians, I applaud all those at ImmigrateAI Global on their success, and I look forward to seeing what they will do next.
