Canadian résumé and cover letter builder
Le texte intégral de cet article est disponible en anglais. Le titre et le résumé sont traduits.
Build a Canadian-format résumé and a matching cover letter in about ten minutes. Fill in the six fields, add your roles, and download the result as an editable Word file or a print-ready PDF.
Free of charge — no account, no payment, nothing you type leaves your device.
A few fields are enough to produce a first draft. Add as many roles and qualifications as you have — the document grows with you. You can edit everything afterwards.
On LinkedIn: open your profile, click More, then Save to PDF. Open that PDF, select all the text, and paste it here. We read the text on your device — nothing is uploaded or stored.
This is a first draft produced from what you typed. Check every line before you send it — particularly the numbers, which interviewers will ask about. Nothing you enter is transmitted to us or stored on this site.
Why Canadian résumés look different
One to two pages, no photograph, no date of birth, no marital status, no Social Insurance Number. Achievements with numbers rather than a list of duties. A profile of three lines at the top instead of an objective statement. Those conventions are not stylistic preferences — they are what a Canadian recruiter expects to see, and breaking them reads as unfamiliarity with the market.
What this tool does and does not do
It formats what you tell it. It does not invent experience, assess your qualifications, or produce a document you can send without reading. The numbers you enter are the part an interviewer will ask about, so enter only figures you can explain.
If you have a LinkedIn profile, you can paste the text of your PDF export instead of typing everything twice. That text is read in your browser and is never uploaded.
