Sorry to ask, but is this another of those comments where there's an unmentioned criminal record lurking behind the story?

Are you by any chance applying to european jobs while residing in canada? This is a big no no. At the least you should have an address in the country you are applying for and a local phone number.

Applying with a CV from Canada with canadian details would probably eliminate you from the process early on. I say this as someone who was trying to work in the UK while living in Germany. The minute I changed address/phone things started to look better.

You may even mention this on your CV sayong that you are looking to move or already moved to that country.
