He signed for América de Cali of the Colombian Primera B in June 2015. He said he was keen to bring his good aerial play, ability to organise a defence, and leadership qualities to a team anxious for promotion. He was a regular starter, helping América qualify for the promotion phase, but they came second in their group so failed to reach the final, and Canosa was released. His next port of call was Manta, in Ecuador, where he joined Serie A club Delfín. He had played seven league matches when a major earthquake struck the area in April 2016. More than 200 residents of the city were killed and thousands made homeless. The frightening experience he went through, and concern for his wife and young baby as aftershocks continued, caused him to request and the club to grant the immediate cancellation of his contract so that he could return home.
