Canadian resume conventions are different from UK CVs and Australian resumes. Here's what works in Canada.
Add a line under your name and contact details: "Work Authorisation: Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) — Open work permit, valid until [date]"
This immediately clarifies to Canadian employers that you can work without sponsorship. Most international student resumes in Canada skip this — don't make that mistake.
Canadian resumes are shorter than Australian (2-3 pages) or UK (2 pages max). New graduates: 1 page. Experienced professionals: 1-2 pages. Never more than 2 pages.
Canadian resumes typically include a "Core Competencies" or "Key Skills" section near the top — a 2-column list of 8-12 skills. This helps ATS parsing and lets recruiters quickly see your strengths.
Do not include a photo, date of birth, SIN number or marital status on a Canadian resume. This is to prevent discrimination under Canadian human rights law.
If you speak English and French, list both with proficiency levels (Native, Fluent, Professional, Conversational). Federal government positions and Quebec jobs often require French.
Canadian employers value quantified achievements. Use numbers: "Increased sales by 23%", "Managed team of 12", "Reduced costs by $15K". Vague bullet points are less effective in Canada.
Do not list references on your Canadian resume. Simply write "References available upon request" if needed, or omit entirely. Most Canadian employers ask for references only after an interview.
Use these leading Canadian job boards once your resume is ready.
