Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 3. Significant accounting policies Use of estimates The preparation of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation; the useful lives of property and equipment; and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption. Basis of measurement The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise noted. Functional and reporting currencies The Company’s and subsidiary’s functional currency, as determined by management, is US dollars, which is also the Company’s reporting currency. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods and companies presented in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Research and development Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730. Share issue costs Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock. Translation of foreign currencies In respect of other transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, the monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Stock-based compensation The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company cannot be reliably estimated. The Company calculates stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of the Company's stock-based compensation plans do not The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Loss per share Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options is excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainly [Text Block] | 4. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not may The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Critical areas of estimation and judgements in applying accounting policies include the following: Going concern These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management uses judgment in determining assumptions for cash flow projections, such as anticipated financing, anticipated sales and future commitments to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A critical judgment is that the Company continues to raise funds going forward and satisfy their obligations as they become due. Stock-based payments The Company estimates the fair value of convertible securities such as options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires significant estimation around assumptions and inputs such as expected term to maturity, expected volatility and expected dividends. Useful lives of property and equipment The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment with definite useful lives at the end of each year and assesses whether the useful lives of certain items should be shortened or extended, due to various factors including technology, competition and revised service offerings.

(i) The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. When there is insufficient data available, The Company uses a peer group that is publicly traded to calculate expected volatility. An increase/decrease in the volatility would have resulted in an increase/decrease in the fair value of the options. The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loans payable approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of estimates The preparation of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation; the useful lives of property and equipment; and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption. |
Basis of Measurement [Policy Text Block] | Basis of measurement The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise noted. |
Functional and Reporting Currencies [Policy Text Block] | Functional and reporting currencies The Company’s and subsidiary’s functional currency, as determined by management, is US dollars, which is also the Company’s reporting currency. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods and companies presented in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and development Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730. |
Share Issue Costs [Policy Text Block] | Share issue costs Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock. |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | Translation of foreign currencies In respect of other transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, the monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Compensation Related Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-based compensation The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company cannot be reliably estimated. The Company calculates stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of the Company's stock-based compensation plans do not The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Loss per share Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options is excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options to purchase common shares of the Company during the period were not three March 31, 2020 |
