Outgoing Canadian Ambassador to Costa Rica Neil Reeder announced a program that will open opportunities for cultural exchange for young professionals living in Costa Rica and in Canada.
The Youth Mobility Program is on the verge of approval by both governments and would facilitate work visas for Ticos aged 18-35 to spend up to six months in internships or other jobs in Canada. The program would also allow for a fixed number of young Canadians to work in Costa Rica.
“We will be offering Costa Ricans six-month work visas … to work in Canada … to learn English or French, make a little money and live in a different country,” Reeder said. “Under the auspices of this program, Canadians can come down here, work for six months with an employer and learn Spanish.”
Canada has similar programs with Chile, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Poland and France, among others, which have been a great success, said Reeder.
