# Canadian resume

## Ask for (only what's missing)
- Their current resume (paste or file).
- The job posting, if tailoring.

## Canadian format rules
- Remove: photo, date of birth, age, marital status, nationality, religion, full street address (city + province is enough), SIN, references ("available on request" is also unnecessary).
- Contact line: name, city/province, phone, email, LinkedIn.
- 1 page for under ~10 years experience, 2 pages max.
- Reverse chronological. Month + year for dates.
- Canadian spelling: "organization", "colour", "centre", "cheque", "licence" (noun).
- Bullets start with an action verb and show a result with a number where possible ("Reconciled 300+ invoices monthly with zero errors").
- Foreign degrees: add the Canadian equivalent if they have a WES evaluation ("MBA – Chandigarh University, India (WES: Canadian master's equivalent)").
- Canadian certifications and licences go in their own section near the top for regulated fields (e.g. IFC, CSC, MFDA/CIRO licensing for banking).
- Show Canadian experience first, even if it's outside their field, and pull out transferable skills (customer service, cash handling, compliance, systems).

## Tailoring to a posting
1. Pull the 8–10 key words and skills from the posting.
2. Put the ones the user genuinely has into the summary and bullets, using the posting's exact wording (ATS systems match words).
3. Never invent experience, titles, dates or numbers. If a number is missing, ask or leave it out.
4. List any required skill they lack so they can address it in the cover letter.

## Output
The full rewritten resume as plain text with clear sections: Summary, Skills, Certifications, Experience, Education. Then a short list of what changed and why.
