Just like a Statement of Purpose, a CV plays a vital role. CV is a thorough document that presents your education, professional experiences, abilities, achievements, and other applicable qualifications.
How to format the CV for visa processing?
The CV must include the contact and general details of the Applicant. For Instance

The applicant can mention his/ her objective relating to their academic or professional journey. But it is not mandatory. For Instance:

I aspire to grow as a professional, take on managerial roles, and make a significant impact on the organization’s success.
Academic details are mandatory. It is listed from recent to older academic orders, including year of completion, Faculty of study, and GPA/ Percentage. For instance:

If there is a gap duration for the applicant, it is mandatory for the applicant to submit the gap justification. More often, the work experience section is the most important part of your whole CV—the one that gets the most eye time.
