Work: your résumé and free employment services
First month · Home, children, work and language
Canadian résumés are different: short and focused on results.
- Where to go
- Job Bank, your province’s employment centres and settlement agencies.
- What to bring
- A résumé in English or French
- Your credentials and experience
- Proof you are allowed to work
- What to do, step by step
- Write a Canadian-style résumé (Job Bank has tips).
- Visit an employment centre: free résumé review and interview practice.
- Create and update a LinkedIn profile.
- Apply in your field, plus interim work if you need income.
Note: any job that asks you to pay to be hired is a scam. An employer-specific work permit doesn’t let you work for anyone else.
