Create a professional Canadian résumé in minutes

Yes. Creating and publishing your CV is free. If we ever add paid options in the future, the core "create a Canadian CV and share a link" feature will remain free.

No account, no password, no email required. When you publish your CV, you receive two links: a public link to share with recruiters, and a secret edit link that is yours alone. That edit link IS your identity on 1cv.ca — treat it like a password. Save it in your notes app, bookmark it, or use the email backup option right after publishing. We strongly recommend saving it in at least two places.

We store only what is needed to display your public CV — the text and layout. No account, no profile, no behavioural tracking. Your secret edit link is the only key to your CV. If you lose it, use our recovery page at 1cv.ca/recover. You can also delete your CV at any time using that same link.

Yes. 1cv.ca supports both English and French CVs, and the layout is compatible with expectations across French and English Canada. Our blog also includes guides specifically for French Canada and Montréal.

Yes. The structure is designed to present your past experience in a way Canadian employers understand, even if your jobs were in another country. You can start with a general CV and then adapt it slightly for each job posting.

Yes — download a PDF after publishing, or print to PDF from your browser. One thing to know: the download is currently a picture of your CV, so it looks right to a person but software that scans résumé text can't read it. If an employer asks you to upload into a screening system, send your 1cv.ca link instead — that page is real, selectable text laid out the way those systems expect. A text-based download is in progress.

Go to 1cv.ca/recover. There are exactly two places your link can be. First, the browser you created the CV in — it saves your links automatically, so if you're on the same computer and haven't cleared your browsing data, they'll be listed there. Second, your inbox — if you saved a backup email when you published, enter it and we'll send the link again. That's the whole list. 1cv.ca has no accounts, no passwords, and no record of who you are, so if neither applies, nobody can restore your link — not us, not anyone. You'd need to publish a new CV. Two minutes of prevention: save the link somewhere you'll still have in a year, and add a backup email.
