Resume writing for Canadian jobs

[NidhiCB]

Hello everyone! Questions for seniors on the forum-
1. Do you recommend hiring a resume writing expert to convert my CV with only Indian work experience into one that attracts Canadian recruiters?
2. If yes, any particular resume writers/ firms that you would recommend?
3. If no, any particular websites that you would recommend for guidance on this?

Thanks

Nidhi

Assume you have googled all the examples out there to get an idea of format, for example here http://settlement.org/ontario/employment/find-a-job/resume/how-do-i-create-a-canadian-style-resume/

Thank you, Bs65. Yes, I have looked at this link and googled this topic extensively. My concern is that a lot of people recommend getting the resume written by a professional and I want to know if that really makes a difference.
