In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that there are four preferred destinations for Colombians seeking to live in other countries.
The United States appears first, followed by Spain, Australia, and Canada; in countries where it seems to offer a good job and a better financial reward to those who decide to take the risk.
Another number of popular destinations have opted for that Mexico, Argentina or Chile, countries where the language is not a barrier and where the Colombian currency manages to be a little competitive.
