Abstract: their country of origin and to return.It shows also how the skilled Colombian migrants who arrive in Switzerland on a temporary basis to study or pursue scientific training, and those who start a relationship with a Swiss citizen while they are in Switzerland, rarely end up returning to their country of origin.Likewise, in the case of Colombians with children of school age, the educational opportunities and the suitable environment for their children influence their decision to remain in Switzerland, return to Colombia or go to another country.Accordingly, the evidence shows that it is normal for children to determine the migratory routes of skilled migrants.Some skilled Colombians consider their presence abroad to be of great importance for Colombia in terms of encouraging its national science and technology system.Likewise, the skilled Colombians in Switzerland believe it is primordial to have a systematic interchange between the skilled Colombians who have returned to Colombia and those who remain abroad.
