LinkedIn and your career profile
LinkedIn and your career profile
Real-life scenario
Sam keeps LinkedIn current because recruiters look there first. Sam also uses my-id.ca for long application forms. After a promotion, Sam updates LinkedIn, then uses the extension’s LinkedIn import on Sam’s own profile page so my-id.ca’s structured fields match the public story. Sam reviews the mapping screen for small differences (LinkedIn summaries are shorter than a full CV paragraph).
How my-id.ca helps
- Import pulls what is visible on your profile (for example headline, experience blocks, education, skills)—profile sections only; private messaging in LinkedIn stays there.
- You confirm before data is saved to your my-id.ca person record.
- Combined with a CV upload when you need deeper detail, you can keep both “short public” and “long application” worlds in sync.
On the Import Your Profile page
The LinkedIn card on Import Your Profile explains that the Chrome extension is part of the setup. Install my-id.ca autofill, visit your profile URL, and use the import action from the extension when offered.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I import from LinkedIn into my-id.ca?
- Export your data from LinkedIn (Settings → Get a copy of your data) and upload the archive in my-id.ca's Import Your Profile flow.
- Will my-id.ca update my LinkedIn profile?
- No. my-id.ca reads from LinkedIn but does not write to it. Update LinkedIn manually using the same source data so the two stay aligned.
- Can I autofill LinkedIn's Easy Apply forms?
- LinkedIn pre-fills Easy Apply from your LinkedIn profile, so my-id.ca is most useful on the external ATS the application redirects to.
