Resume writing service for Canadian professionals.
Every Sunrise resumé is written by hand — from scratch, by an experienced professional who understands how Canadian hiring decisions are actually made. No AI. No templates. No outsourcing. A resumé built around your experience, your industry, and the role you are targeting.
Six things included as standard on every Sunrise resumé — regardless of which package you choose.
The difference between packages is depth, targeting, and add-ons. The quality of the underlying work is the same across all four tiers.
Written from scratch
No templates. No recycled language. Your resumé is built from the ground up around your actual experience, your goals, and the role you are targeting.
ATS tested on every project
Every resumé is tested against your target job postings before delivery — not just formatted to look ATS-friendly. The right keywords, structure, and formatting for the roles you are actually applying to.
Industry and role alignment
We research the norms of your industry and the expectations of your target role before writing a single word. A petroleum engineer's resumé and a finance director's resumé are not built from the same framework.
Outcomes-focused language
Every duty list becomes an achievement record. Vague descriptions become specific, credible contributions. Every bullet earns its place on the page.
Professional review and edit
Every resumé goes through a full editorial review before it reaches you. Structure, flow, consistency, and clarity — checked on every project by an Editors Canada member team.
Delivered in Word and PDF
You receive both formats. Word for future editing. PDF for submission. Both formatted and ready to use the moment they arrive in your inbox.
We write resumés for Canadian professionals at every career stage — in every industry.
Canadian employers have specific expectations. We write for the market you are actually competing in — whether that is energy in Alberta, technology in British Columbia, finance in Ontario, or any other sector across the country.
Students and recent graduates
Projects, internships, and skills translated into a credible document that holds its own against more experienced candidates.
Mid-career professionals
Stronger outcomes, tighter relevance, and cleaner seniority signals for professionals pursuing advancement or a deliberate transition.
Executives and senior leaders
Scope, ownership, and outcomes made explicit without exaggeration. A leadership narrative that positions you at the level you are aiming for.
Career changers and newcomers
Transferable skills, outcomes, and domain proof translated into the language of your new field or the Canadian market. Repositioning done with precision.

What you get from Sunrise — and what most resume writing services give you instead.
There is no shortage of resume writing services available to Canadian job seekers. The difference is what actually happens to your document.
- Written by hand, every time. No AI-generated drafts. No templates filled with your details. Every resumé built from scratch around your actual career.
- Free assessment before any commitment. We review your current resumé and tell you exactly what needs to change before you decide to proceed. No obligation.
- Industry-specific, not generic. We research your target role and sector before writing. The language, structure, and emphasis differ between industries because the hiring norms differ.
- ATS tested on every project. Your resumé is tested against your actual target job postings — not just formatted in a way that looks ATS-friendly on the surface.
- Editors Canada member since 2012. Professional editorial standards applied to every document by a team that has been doing this for over a decade.
- Fixed pricing, confirmed upfront. You know the full cost before any work begins. The price does not change.
- Template-based production. Your information entered into a pre-built structure. Faster to produce — and immediately recognisable to a recruiter who has seen it before.
- AI-generated first drafts. Many services use AI to produce an initial version and then lightly edit it. The result reads like AI — an increasing liability with experienced recruiters.
- One format for all industries. A construction project manager and a software developer receive the same structural approach with different content filled in.
- ATS claims without real testing. Formatting that avoids obvious errors is not the same as a document tested against the specific postings you are applying for.
- Interview guarantees. A 90-day guarantee sounds reassuring. It also signals preparation for the resumé not to work — and shifts the burden onto you to prove it did not.
Simple from start to finish. No surprises, no pressure, no commitment until you are ready.
Send us your current resumé — free.
Share what you have along with your target role. No resumé at all? That is fine — we work from scratch just as easily. The assessment costs nothing and takes less than five minutes to start.
We tell you exactly what needs to change.
We review your document and your target, then tell you what the problem is and which package is the right fit. You know the full scope and cost before any work begins.
We write — by hand, not by algorithm.
A professional writer builds your resumé from scratch. Industry-specific. Role-targeted. ATS tested against your actual postings. No templates at any stage. Most projects delivered within five to seven business days.
You review and we refine if needed.
You receive the finished document. Packages above Refresh include a revision round. Factual corrections — dates, titles, employer names — are always included within seven days of delivery.
You receive a document ready to submit.
Word and PDF, formatted and ready. ATS tested, professionally edited, written for the Canadian market you are competing in.
A resumé that passes ATS is not the same as a resumé that earns interviews.
Most professionally produced resumés clear the technical bar. Fewer are genuinely built to compete at the level the candidate is targeting.
ATS-compatible, achievement-focused, correctly formatted for the Canadian market.
The document clears automated screening, presents experience as outcomes rather than duties, and follows Canadian formatting conventions. A hiring manager can read it without friction. This is the baseline — and it is where most professional services stop.
Built specifically for the role you are targeting — not the role you had.
The summary is written for the target, not inherited from a previous job search. The first bullet under the most recent role is the single most relevant achievement for the posting you are applying to. The language mirrors the vocabulary of the job description. The document reads as though it was written for this opportunity — because it was. That is what converts applications to interviews in a competitive Canadian job market.
