History

The CCPA originally named Canadian Colombian Professional Association was founded in 2001 by a group of Colombian professionals with the noble idea of improving the image of the Colombian professionals in Canada.The excellence of the programs and the outstanding support the Hispanic professional community received motivated the board of directors to pursue some changes within the organization.

Later in 2004 the CCPA changed its name to "Canadian Coalition of Professionals from the Americas" with the intention of uniting different Hispanic Professional Associations.

In 2005 the CCPA returns to its original name “Canadian Colombian Professional Association” but will continue working on the benefit of the Hispanic Professional community in Canada.
