Best Way to format a Canadian-style resume

Start with a header

The header of your resume should include your name, address, email, and phone number. You can also include your LinkedIn profile if you have one. This information should be placed at the top of your resume in a clear and easy-to-read format.

Write a strong objective or summary statement

Your objective or summary statement should be a brief summary of your career goals, skills, and experiences. This statement should be tailored to the specific in-demand job in Canada you are applying for and should highlight how you can contribute to the company.

Highlight your skills

In a Canadian-style resume, it is important to highlight your skills rather than your work experience. Your skills should be listed in bullet points and should be specific to the job you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a marketing position, you should list your marketing skills such as market research, social media marketing, and content creation.

Emphasize your work experience

Your work experience should be listed after your skills. In a Canadian-style resume, it is important to highlight your achievements and accomplishments rather than just your job duties. For each job, you should list your job title, company name, dates of employment, and a brief description of your job duties. You should also include a few bullet points that highlight your achievements and how you contributed to the company.

Emphasize your work experience

Include your education and certifications

Your education and certifications should be listed after your work experience. In a Canadian-style resume, it is important to include your GPA if it is 3.0 or higher. You should also list any certifications or licenses that you have earned that are relevant to the job you are applying for.

Add a language section

If you are bilingual or multilingual, it is important to include a language section in your resume. This section should list the languages you speak, your level of proficiency, and any certifications you have earned.

Book your Free Consultation

Keep it concise

A Canadian-style resume should be no more than two pages long. Keep your resume concise and focused on the job you are applying for. Use bullet points to make your resume easy to read and avoid using long paragraphs.

Use a professional format

Your resume should be easy to read and visually appealing. Use a professional format that includes clear headings, bullet points, and a consistent font. Avoid using fancy fonts, graphics, or colors that can distract from the content of your resume.

Proofread and edit

Before submitting your resume, proofread and edit it carefully. Check for spelling and grammar errors and make sure that all of your information is accurate and up to date. It is also a good idea to have someone else review your resume to ensure that it is error-free and easy to read. Seek guidance from a friend, family member, or an ICCRC-authorized immigration consultant if you’re having trouble.

Ready?

Remember, it is important to customize your resume for each job you apply for. This means that you should tailor your objective or summary statement, skills, and work experience to the specific job you are applying for. This will show your potential employer that you have taken the time to understand the job requirements and that you are a good fit for the position.

Writing a Canadian-style resume can be challenging, but by following these tips, you can create a resume that stands out and impresses your potential employers.

Good luck!
