Moreover, this thesis intends to challenge the limits of the law when clustering skilled migrants into only two categories (i.e. Accordingly, by examining their labour trajectories, current occupation and positions in their workplaces, this thesis shows how third country nationals from Colombia have moved between different social categories that allow them access and permanence in the labour market, and which eventually translate into legal permits to remain in Britain. ![]() However, opposing common assumptions that highly qualified migrants are an elite group and that education protects them from discrimination, studies inform that intersectional factors such as gender, ethnicity, class, language, occupation and country of origin are sometimes penalised in the labour market (see Heath and Cheung, 2006 & Oikelome and Healy, 2013). Then, research specifically on highly qualified Latino migrants has been so far neglected, generally as they are defined as a privileged group with enough economic and social capital to navigate legal aspects and the labour market safely.

Issues regarding class, race and gender have also been part of previous studies, as well as the effects that more restrictive barriers have had in Latin American migrants.
