The ATS never passes you through
Tables, columns and vague wording get scrambled or scored low before a recruiter ever opens your file.

Why qualified people get no callbacks
What's keeping your resume from landing interviews?
Most strong candidates are filtered out by software or a checklist before a person weighs their experience. Three problems cause most of it.
02
Government screeners can't check the box
Federal and OPS hiring is an audit. If a qualification isn't stated in the posting's language, it doesn't count.
Every essential and asset qualification mapped to evidence.
03
Your international experience gets discounted
Photos, birthdates, long CVs and unfamiliar titles signal 'not Canadian-ready' to local recruiters.
Canadian conventions, reframed titles, credentials explained.

The difference
A resume recruiters can actually score.
Recruiters and government screeners look for evidence they can check off. Here is what that rewrite looks like.
Manager, Operations
Responsible for managing stakeholder relationships in a fast-paced environment.
↳ Duty, not a result
Handled client management for various projects.
↳ Synonym won't match 'stakeholder relations'
Strong project management and communication skills.
↳ Unverifiable adjective
Manager, Operations
Led stakeholder relations with 14 external partners through a province-wide system migration; zero escalations, signed off ahead of schedule.
Migrated a 40,000-record client database to a new case management system, coordinating 6 staff across IT and program delivery; finished 3 weeks early.
Managed a team of 11 across three regional offices with a $2.4M operating budget.

FAQ
Questions Canadian job seekers ask us
Still unsure? Reach us at 416 859 7335 or info@resumecanada.ca for a straight answer from a writer, not a salesperson.
What makes a resume ATS-friendly in Canada?
A single-column layout, standard headings (Work Experience, Education, Skills), a common font, no tables, text boxes, headers or graphics, and keywords that mirror the job posting. We test every resume against these rules before delivery.
How much does a professional resume cost in Canada?
At Resume Canada, resume writing starts at $119 CAD for students and entry-level, $199 for mid-career, and $395 for executives. The Full Package with LinkedIn, a cover letter and a free thank-you letter runs from $209 to $645 depending on career level.
How is a government resume different from a private-sector resume?
Government screeners score your application against a published list of essential and asset qualifications. Your resume must use the posting's exact language, give month-and-year dates, and show scope. It is often longer than a private-sector resume.
Can you convert my international CV to a Canadian resume?
Yes. We remove details Canadian employers don't expect (photo, date of birth, marital status), reframe job titles and credentials so recruiters understand them, and highlight transferable results.
How long does it take?
Your free review arrives within 2 business days. First drafts are typically ready 5 to 7 business days after your strategy call. Rush options are available.
Do you work with clients outside Toronto?
Yes. We're based in Toronto and work with professionals across Canada by phone, video and email.
