Canada
A Canadian resume built for both the ATS and the newcomer disadvantage.
Canadian employers screen with the same software as the US, but newcomers face an extra hurdle: credentials and employers the recruiter has never heard of. DraftlyCV writes those into terms a Canadian screener recognises, then scores the result against the posting.
- • One to two pages, no photo, no personal identifiers.
- • Work authorisation stated plainly when you have it.
- • Foreign degrees and employers translated into recognisable Canadian equivalents.
- • Canadian spelling and dollar figures on quantified results.
- • Free ATS score against the exact posting.
Writing for a Canadian screener
State status simply: 'Permanent resident' or 'Open work permit, valid to 2027'.
Name the field of an unfamiliar degree, for example 'B.Tech (four-year engineering degree)'.
Describe an unfamiliar employer in six words: sector, size, market.
Quantify in Canadian dollars, or label the currency you used.
Beating the Canadian-experience objection
Lead with outcomes and scale, which travel across borders better than job titles do.
Surface Canadian certifications, volunteering, or courses, however small.
Mirror the posting's vocabulary so the parser and the recruiter both find the match.
Keep one resume per role family and re-run the ATS check on each.
