I scanned through it and didn't spot any. I believe that most employers aer interested in your work history therefore in the UK the current layout for a CV is to put your work experience straight after your key skills. I'm sure there are different opinions in how to layout a CV in Canada, so I would get feedback from local employers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Just created an account btw.
The problem is that I'll graduating soon and don't have any relevant work experiences which is the reason i choose a functional resume format instead of a chronological format.

Vince

Hi Vince, welcome to EF.
I understand as I did a similar thing myself when I started teaching. Personally I prefer a slightly different layout than yours even moving the to qualifications to the top of the page. There are lots of different styles and trends change. I am unaware of the current trend of Canada.
I had a very pompous CV in catering with lots of qualifications and
