Viaspora

Viaspora is a guided relocation service and app created for the West African diaspora, helping people plan a move to Europe or Canada. It brings key parts of the relocation process together in one place, offering practical guidance from choosing a destination through preparing for arrival. Users can compare cities based on cost of living, community, climate, and opportunity, then follow a personalized checklist with steps ordered from visa applications to arrival day and reminders to help keep plans on track.

The app provides visa and documentation walkthroughs, with checklists tailored to a person’s destination, status, and family. It also offers housing guidance for temporary stays and first leases, including questions to ask and details to review. For families, Viaspora shares school enrollment timelines, required records, and local school guidance. Its job-search feature highlights openings that mention visa sponsorship, while noting that listings do not guarantee an employer will sponsor a candidate.

Viaspora is available for iOS and Android, and can also be accessed in a web browser.
