Popular Roles Supported
Templates and AI tailoring available for hundreds of Canadian roles — here are some of the most common:
Government of Canada Jobs
Federal public service applications
require a different kind of resume
GoC assessors score each essential qualification independently using a grid. Vague language like "assisted with" or "involved in" is automatically disqualifying — every criterion must be proven explicitly in STAR format.
100% Free
Merit Resume Checker
Paste your existing resume and get an instant PSC standards analysis. Flags every vague phrase, missing date, weak section, and criterion gap before you submit to GC Jobs.
- Vague phrase detection — quoted verbatim
- STAR format check per experience section
- Criterion coverage gap analysis
- 10-item GC application checklist
- Score 0–100 with letter grade
Basic Plan
Government Merit Resume Builder
AI builds your complete merit resume using GPT-4o. Structures every essential qualification section in STAR format, addresses each criterion explicitly, and outputs plain text ready to paste into GC Jobs.
- Paste EQs — AI addresses every criterion
- STAR format per experience (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
- Plain text output — GC Jobs compatible
- Competition & personal info header
- Download Word (.doc) + TXT
Merit resumes are not regular resumes. GoC assessors use a rating grid — they cannot assume, infer, or give credit for experience not explicitly stated. A regular ATS resume will score 0 on most criteria. Use the checker first, then the builder to fix it.
