The Embassy of Panama and its consulates are not able to assist people in finding employment in Panama; however, if you already have an employer in Panama you have to authenticate the following documents in Canada.

Documents that need to be authenticated to get the working permission in Panama

1. A formal request issued by a Panamanian Lawyer addressed to the Director General, Immigration Department.
2. A health certificate issued by a Panamanian Doctor (Issued within the 3 months previous to the date of presentation)
3. A Police Record from where you currently reside.
4. Certified copy of your valid passport.
5. Marriage Certificate and Birth Certificate.
6. Four color passport Photographs (men should wear a tie).
7. Bank account.

An Authorized Translator in Canada must translate all documentation that need authentication and will be registered in Panama to Spanish.
All official documents must be previously notarized by your Lawyer or a Public Notary in Canada and then, by the Department of Foreign Affairs here in Ottawa. Once this is done, you must bring these documents for their authentication at the Panamanian Embassy in Ottawa. This process can take between three to four (3-4) working days.
There is a fee of US$30.oo and US$2 for any extra page, for each document to be authenticated at this Embassy. Please make a money order payable to "Consular Section, Embassy of Panama".
