Canada
Resume Master for applicants in Canada
A Canadian resume is one or two pages on Letter paper, in Canadian English, with no photo. It reads like a US resume in most ways, which is why the resume examples on this site work for Canada as they are: the same section order, the same bullet style, the same length. What changes is the spelling, the paper size, and the provincial regulator or designation where a role has one.

What a Canadian resume gets right
Letter paper, Canadian English, dates as YYYY-MM-DD, no photo. These are the conventions the editor follows for Canada, and all it changes: no translation, no separate templates, the same product priced the same everywhere.
- Letter paper
- Canada prints on Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches, like the US. Pick Letter in the editor; A4 is the one setting that would look foreign here.
- One or two pages
- One page for early-career applicants, two for most others. The resume examples on this site are written at that length.
- No photo
- Canadian employers do not expect a photo, date of birth or marital status, and human rights legislation in every province discourages asking for them.
- Dates as YYYY-MM-DD
- Where a full date appears, Canada’s standard order is year first. On the resume itself, month and year for each role is what recruiters read.
- Canadian English
- Colour, centre, licence and programme as in British English, but organize and analyze as in the US. The editor follows en-CA when your Market is Canada.
- City and province, not a street address
- "Calgary, AB" is enough on the contact line. A full street address is no longer expected.
