CV is compulsory, the guidance says each letter must “come with the author’s CV (or other proof of their credentials)… included within the letter, not a separate file.”

Adding the referee’s LinkedIn URL is very helpful so assessors can quickly see their career trajectory at a glance, if they need to, even before reading through the letters.

Also, A TN application CV is not the same as a job CV. It should highlight impact measurable achievements, leadership, innovation, and your contributions to digital technology. Keep it focused and concise. The recommended length is no more than 3 pages.

All the best.
