@Rmv.18 I cant speak about the template for the Canadian resume but I can give a few pointers I figured out and what has been shared with me:
1. Do not put your entire address on your resume: city and province is enough.
2. Attach url link for your LinkedIn profile
3. Highlight what you accomplished while working for your previous employers instead of stating what the job entailed. For e.g. instead of putting: managed the sale and service of products, you would put:
Exceeded annual sales target by 130% or trained staff to use new technology which resulted in the company operating more efficiently and savings X amount of money or say you grew your portfolio by X%.
They want to know the impact you had on the company, not necessarily what you did when you were there.
4. For those who are Outland and coming in to look for jobs:if you can do even a certificate course/short course - go ahead. Then when you're organizing your resume- put the name of the Canadian College/University at the top, followed by your other educational qualifications.This will catch the employers eye.
5. Someone advised me to remove my country's name from my resume as it appears too much. For e.g. instead of putting Cable and Wireless Barbados Ltd, just put Cable and Wireless Ltd. This helps to remove potential biases and if you get an interview, at that time you can always say which country you had the experience in.
6. Keep the resume to 2 pages (as much as ppssible).
Now, I am by no means an expert and all that was stated above is my personal experience. However it has helped me so far. I was able to get part-time employment while studying and started working full-time 2 days after completing my course.
All the best.

Nice explanation and impressionable...

Hi, I am on the same boat as you. I believe we would get something known as 'instruction letter' in a week or so describing further steps to be followed. Having read the posts in this forum, people have been referring to this letter as COPR which creates a sort of confusion. Hopefully someone who has undergone the steps maybe able to assist us.

Hi guys, @Romain87 Are you guys inland or outland.

 

[@dasha0609]

@GW007 Thanks for the response.
This is logical with the current situation. As for the local visa office where I submitted bio, they are currently working in half capacity. That is, they are processing only bio requests and are working on pending approvals and not accepting new files right now. Hope the scenario changes soon.
Congratulations to all who received their approvals and COPRs
Good luck to all those who are waiting

Are you from UAE? Cuz that's the case here in Dubai.

i wonder if they intentionally leave security blank for outland applicants until travel restrictions are lifted and PPRs can be issued.

Not sure if it could be a possibility, because all my checks are passed including security.
FSW-O, AOR: 20 Jan

Outland, unfortunately.

Good luck! I hope IRCC start processing at same pace as before.

it's possible, but I don't think that is true for all outland applicants. I am a FSW-O and the webform I raised last week confirmed that all of my verification checks are valid
