FAQ
Is 1cv.ca really free?
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.
Do I need an account or email to use it?
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.
What if I lose my edit link?
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.
How is my data stored and protected?
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.
Can I get a PDF of my CV?
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.
Does this CV format work for French Canada?
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.
I'm a newcomer to Canada. Is this format okay for my first job?
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.
Is my CV really private?
Yes. We don't collect any personal information, use any tracking, or sell any data. Your CV is only accessible via your personalized URL.
Can I delete my CV?
Yes, you can delete your CV at any time using your secret edit link.
