Hi all, I am hoping to move to Canada and am in the process of working through the visa and job search, similar to most of us on here.
A bit of background on me just in case it helps…I am 35 and work in Engineering as a Project Manager, I have worked previously for a short time in Canada (not long enough to support my visa) and have visited other areas, I love the country and the people and really have my heart set on making it my home and somewhere I can raise a family.
My main initial questions are regarding CV’s in Canada. I have looked through the sites recommended on here (QSIC etc) and have lots of general information but have some specific details I wonder if anyone could clarify.
I have also noted that my current CV is not too dissimilar to that of the recommended Canadian CV’s, in terms of content etc.
1) How many pages, my UK CV is 2 pages.
2) Layout, other than the personal details can the remaining content be on either page (if more than one page long), currently I have my most recent job on the first page along with personal details and education (giving a one page CV with additional details on page 2).
3) I presume (please do not shoot me) that the spelling needs to be in Canadian, or will employers happily read a CV from an Englishman with English spelling?
Many thanks to you all in advance and I look forward to picking your brains for more information as I come across areas I lack knowledge, and of course I look forward to a new life in Canada
