FAQs
For any professional, a Canadian-style resume is crucial to a prosperous future. So, it is the same as in other countries, such as chronological or reverse-chronological resume formats.
However, a Canadian resume format differs from the one you use in India, Pakistan, or the Philippines, called CV (Curriculum Vitae).
It is imperative that the job seekers, whether they are inside or outside Canada, have a resume that captures employers’ attention.
Thus, in order to compete in the job market, your resume-format should meet the following standards:
1- It should be ATS-friendly (auto tracking system).
2- You must include your NOC & skill level.
3- Include keywords that Canadian employers use in vacancy advertisements.
4- The resume must be to the point & precise.
5- Clarity and conciseness are key to a good Canadian resume.
6- 2 pages is a good length for a resume.
7- Avoid including photos & logos.
8- Include the date and reference number of the job position.
9- Whenever you apply for a job, your resume should be customized.
10- Avoid using colorful or fancy fonts in the resume.
The document you submit to apply for a job in Canada is known as ‘Resume’, instead of a CV (curriculum vitae).
The resume is a professional term, and it is acceptable in Canada for employment. In addition, Canadian businesses and employers generally use the term resume in listing their positions.
So, it is likely Canada uses a work resume since it comes from the French word résumé meaning “summary”. It is also important to note that French is the 2nd official language of Canada.
In the UK, Europe, and Asia this document is referred to as a CV. So, CV originated from a Latin word, and it summarizes qualifications, education, and career history.

Dear Sir,
Thanks a lot for your motivated videos, its really means a lot. My daughters are in their 20’s, been living and working in Malaysa, but now they want to move to Canada, since most of my family is living abroad. My dughters can avail express entry BC PNP program. My question is:
Q. Can I apply too through job offer, if I get one, since I am 65, but with a Masters in Education, (going ahead with my Ph.D in Education research)been a Principal/Head Teacher for ESL(English as a second language). I got 30yrs of teaching, learning and training. Since in one of the videos I saw NO AGE, NO IELTS etc. I will sit for my IELTS since I have been training students for IELTS, even I did sit for one and score band 8.5.
Sir please do contact or reply me.
Thanks
Nazneen
Practical way is to make your daughter main applicant for any PR program and later you can move with her. Otherwise, It seems your profile and financial position is strong so you can try TRV visitors visa. So you can visit Canada physically and find opportunity there.
Thanks
