NWR: Question for Canadians

Hi,

I'm not Canadian, but I have a Canada-related question.

Question: Are Canadian resumes (for either employment or academic purposes) the same as American ones?

I'm asking for a French friend who is applying to study abroad. She has to submit a resume for each school she's applying to. Apparently some of them are Canadian schools, so she wonders if the format is the same? For the record, French resumes are quite different (include DOB, picture, order of information is different, etc.).

American academic resumes typically include education history, employment history, special skills, awards/honors received, in that order (more or less). Is it the same in Canada?

TIA.

    Yep!  Alot of places like a cover letter as well, tailored to whomever you are applying to.

    Yes, pretty much. I'd put relevant academic awards under Education though.
