	Dec. 31, 2013
Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]	'
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	1.             Nature and continuance of operations
	IGEN Networks Corp, together with its wholly owned subsidiary IGEN Business Solutions Inc., (collectively “IGEN”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 14, 2006.  The Company has been primarily in a development state since inception pursuing a variety of different technologies and markets. Commencing January 1, 2012, the Company is no longer a Development Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (”ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities, after the Company took on new investment, new management, and a new business model in September of 2011.   IGEN’s primary business is investing in and managing for growth private high-tech companies that offer products and services in the domains of wireless broadband, Software as a Service, and Machine to Machine solutions.   A secondary part of IGEN’s business is negotiating distribution agreements with relevant organizations and selling their products and services through the distribution channels of our portfolio companies, or newly developed IGEN sales channels.
	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which imply the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company generated revenue for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2011 and continued to grow revenue through 2012 and into 2013.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, on the ability of the company to grow its revenue base, on its ability to successfully grow the companies in which it is invested, and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to both support the latter objectives and to invest in and grow new companies. The Company has recurring losses since inception and had accumulated losses of $5,314,199 as at December 31, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations into the future.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

	These consolidated financial statements and related notes include the records of IGEN Networks Corp and its wholly owned subsidiary, IGEN Business Solutions Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, expressed in US dollars, and, in management’s opinion, have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized in Note 3

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	3.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	a)	Use of estimates
	The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated expenses, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
	b)	Loss per share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted earnings (loss) per share exclude all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
	Because the effect of conversion of the Company’s dilutive securities is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
	c)	Financial instruments
	The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
	- Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	- Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
	The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs and the fair value of derivative liability with convertible debt is determined based on “Level 2” inputs. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility to these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Financial instrument that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions.
	d)	Equipment
	Office equipment and computer are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates and methods over their estimated useful lives as follows, except in the year of acquisition when one half of the rate is used. Management reviews the estimates of useful lives of the assets every year and adjust them on prospective basis, if needed.
	Office equipment	20% declining balance
	Computer	55% declining balance
	Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset during the year the impairment occurs. Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of office equipment is capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits from the use of the assets will be increased.
	e)	Revenue recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when earned, specifically when all the following conditions are met:
	- Services are provided or products are delivered to customers.
	- There is clear evidence that an arrangement exists.
	- Amounts are fixed or can be determined.
	- The ability to collect is reasonably assured.
	- There is no significant obligation for future performance.
	- The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
	h)	Foreign currency transaction balances
	The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
	Assets and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
	i)	Income taxes
	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10. FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical
	merits of the position. If the more likely than not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
	Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
	j)	Stock-based compensation
	The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
	k)	Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements
	In January 2013, the FASB amended ASC Topic 210 Balance Sheet (“ASC 210”) to clarify the scope of the required enhanced disclosures that will enable financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on a company’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated within scope assets and liabilities. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company adopted the amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

	Investment in Machlink consists of 43 common shares of Machlink  which is a private company conducting information technology business. The Company is not considered having significant influence in Machlink’s operations. The shares of Machlink do not have quoted market prices in an active market.  On December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s investment in Machlink had a carrying value of $150,000 which is the Company’s cost in this investment’s less impairment.
	Investment in Gogiro Internet Group
	Pursuant to an option agreement, the Company incurred $50,000 and $50,000 (totaling $100,000) to acquire 200,000 and 200,000 (totaling 400,000) common shares of Gogiro Internet Group (“Gogiro”), a private Canadian Company, on November 23, 2011 and October 17, 2012 respectively.
	On March 12, 2013, the Company signed an agreement to acquire 2,078,080 shares of Gogiro through the issuance of 1,744,747 restricted common shares of the Company (the “Gogiro Acquisition”).  Neil Chan, CEO and Director of both companies, would exchange 2,000,000 Gogiro shares for 1,666,667 restricted common shares of the Company.  The proceeds of Gogiro Acquisition was $174,475 which was the fair value of the 1,744,747 restricted shares of the Company.
	Upon the completion of the Gogiro Acquisition, the Company’s interest on Gogiro increased to 31.12% As a result, the Company has changed its method to account for its investment in Gogiro from “cost less impairment value” method to equity method as the Company’s interest on Gogiro has surpassed 20% whereby the Company is considered having significant influence on Gogiro. Consequently the Company has included 31.12% of Gogiro’s losses from March 12 to December 31, 2013 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, gains and losses resulting from 'upstream' and 'downstream' transactions between IGEN and Gogiro are recognised in IGEN’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in Gogiro. Changes in carrying value of the Company’s investment in Gogiro are as follows:

	8.             Convertible debt and derivative liabilities
	On May 4, 2013 and May 31, 2013, the Company issued two convertible debentures (“CDs”) in the principal of CAD$100,000 ($94,000) and CAD$50,000 ($ 47,000) respectively (totalling CAD$150,000 or $141,000). These two CDs are non-secured, carry interest of 14% per annum payable monthly or at term, and scheduled to mature on January 1, 2015. Subject to the approval of the holder of the CDs, IGEN may convert any of all of the principal and/or interest at any time following the 6 month anniversary of the issuance date of the CDs into common shares of IGEN at a price per share equal to a 20% discount to the fair market value of IGEN’s common share.
	As the CDs are denominated in Canadian dollars (a currency different from the functional currency of the Company) and the exercise prices are not fixed (a 20% discount to the fair market value of IGEN’s common share), a derivative is recognized as a liability. The derivative liability is recorded at fair value and re-measured each period with the movement being recorded as a gain or loss in consolidated income (loss).  The CDs are classified as a liability, less the portion relating to the derivative feature. As a result, the Company recorded derivative liabilities of $101,823 and convertible notes of $39,177 at dates of issuance of the CDs. The Company records accretion expense over the term of the convertible notes up to their face values of CAD$150,000 when these CDs come due on January 1, 2015. As at December 31, 2013, $39,405 has been accreted and $3,774 unpaid interest has been accrued; increasing the carrying value of the convertible notes to $82,356. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $2,831. As at December 31, 2013, the fair value of the derivative liability was $98,992. Interest expense on the CDs is composed of the interest calculated on the face value of the CDs at 14% per annum which amounted to $13,096 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The Company uses the Binomial option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the derivative liability. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:
		Expected Volatility				Risk-free Interest Rate				Expected Dividend Yield		Expected Life (in years)
	As at May 4 and May 31, 2013 (date of vesting)	203%	to	209	%	0.17%	to	0.22	%	0	%	1.59	to	1.66
	As at December 31, 2013			219	%			0.13	%	0	%			1

	Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.  As a result, credit risk is considered insignificant.
	Currency Risk
	The Company’s major expenses and payables are in United States dollars and are expected to continue to incur in United States dollars.  Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and other currency may have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.  The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk for transactions in its Canadian subsidiary and its investment in Gogiro, a Canadian company, as at December 31, 2013. The Company does not actively hedge against foreign currency fluctuations.
	Interest Rate Risk
	The Company has cash balances and no interest bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in high yield term deposits and bankers’ acceptance. The Company regularly monitors its cash management policy. As a result, interest rate risk is considered not significant.
	Liquidity Risk
	Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities.
	The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. As at December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital of $25,615 (December 31, 2012 – $66,189).

Accounting_Policies_by_Policy_

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	a)	Use of estimates
	The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated expenses, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	b)	Loss per share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted earnings (loss) per share exclude all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
	Because the effect of conversion of the Company’s dilutive securities is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	c)	Financial instruments
	The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
	- Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	- Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
	The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs and the fair value of derivative liability with convertible debt is determined based on “Level 2” inputs. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility to these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Financial instrument that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	d)	Equipment
	Office equipment and computer are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided annually at rates and methods over their estimated useful lives as follows, except in the year of acquisition when one half of the rate is used. Management reviews the estimates of useful lives of the assets every year and adjust them on prospective basis, if needed.
	Office equipment	20% declining balance
	Computer	55% declining balance
	Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset during the year the impairment occurs. Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of office equipment is capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits from the use of the assets will be increased.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	e)	Revenue recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when earned, specifically when all the following conditions are met:
	- Services are provided or products are delivered to customers.
	- There is clear evidence that an arrangement exists.
	- Amounts are fixed or can be determined.
	- The ability to collect is reasonably assured.
	- There is no significant obligation for future performance.
	- The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	h)	Foreign currency transaction balances
	The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
	Assets and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	i)	Income taxes
	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10. FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical
	merits of the position. If the more likely than not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
	Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	j)	Stock-based compensation
	The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	k)	Changes in accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements
	In January 2013, the FASB amended ASC Topic 210 Balance Sheet (“ASC 210”) to clarify the scope of the required enhanced disclosures that will enable financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on a company’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated within scope assets and liabilities. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company adopted the amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
