Canadian employers actively recruit skilled workers from Colombia across various sectors. Colombian professionals seeking to work in Canada typically require a work permit supported by a job offer and, in most cases, a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The application process varies based on your occupation, employer, and whether LMIA exemptions apply. Current processing times for Colombian applicants range from 8-16 weeks.
Go Far Global has extensive experience helping Colombian workers secure Canadian work permits. We understand industry-specific requirements and can guide you through LMIA-required and LMIA-exempt pathways. Spanish to English/French translation required, which can create excellent opportunities for qualified applicants. Our services include employer liaison, document preparation, and application management.
A Canadian work permit not only provides valuable international work experience but can also serve as a pathway to permanent residence through programs like Canadian Experience Class or Provincial Nominee Programs. We help you develop a comprehensive immigration strategy that aligns with your long-term goals.
