How to cancel MyPerfectCV and stop unwanted subscription charges
What MyPerfectCV is and why cancellation matters
MyPerfectCV is a cloud-based resume and CV builder that uses AI-assisted templates and editing tools to help you create professional job application documents. The service operates on a subscription model with monthly or annual billing cycles, typically introduced through a free trial period that converts to paid access unless you cancel beforehand.
You may want to cancel for legitimate reasons: you have completed your CV, the platform does not meet your expectations, you have found a superior alternative, or you want to prevent automatic charges after your trial expires. Yafee specializes in helping Canadian consumers navigate subscription cancellations and understand their rights under consumer protection law. This guide walks you through every step of the cancellation process, explains your legal position, and shows you how to avoid common pitfalls that cost users unnecessary fees.
Why auto-renewal subscriptions require immediate action
MyPerfectCV uses automatic renewal billing, meaning your account charges you at the end of each billing period unless you actively cancel before that date. Most subscription complaints arise because users forget to cancel during their trial period, then face unexpected charges. Taking control of your subscription now prevents this problem entirely.
How yafee helps you regain control
Yafee's mission is to make cancellation transparent and straightforward. You will understand exactly what steps to take, what your rights are under Canadian law, and how to document your cancellation for your own records. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions without dispute or delay.
MyPerfectCV subscription plans and pricing
MyPerfectCV offers several subscription tiers, each with distinct pricing, billing frequency, and auto-renewal terms.
| Plan type |
Price (CAD) |
Billing frequency |

| Monthly subscription |

Critical timing tip: If you are using the free trial, mark your calendar for day 10 of your trial period. This gives you a four-day safety window to cancel before the 14-day trial-to-paid conversion occurs and before your payment method is charged.
Your consumer rights in canada and what they mean for you
Canadian consumer protection law sets specific boundaries for digital subscription services, and understanding your rights is the foundation of a successful cancellation.
Canadian consumer protection framework for digital subscriptions
Canada's federal and provincial consumer protection laws, including the Competition Act and provincial Consumer Protection Acts, do not automatically mandate a statutory "cooling-off" or "right to cancel" period for digital subscriptions that you use immediately after purchase. The focus of these laws is on deceptive marketing practices and unfair contract terms, not on mandatory refund windows for instant-access digital services.
This means MyPerfectCV's voluntary 14-day satisfaction guarantee is a commercial courtesy rather than a legal requirement. However, you retain strong protections if the company engages in misleading billing disclosures, fails to honour its stated cancellation procedures, or charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request.
Your legal position as a canadian consumer
You have the right to: Cancel your subscription at any time, provided you follow the company's documented cancellation method. You may request a refund within 14 days of your initial charge if you have not accessed substantial features of the service. You can file a complaint with the Competition Bureau or your provincial consumer protection authority if MyPerfectCV uses false or misleading billing language, fails to disclose auto-renewal terms clearly, or refuses to process a cancellation request.
Escalation options if MyPerfectCV refuses to cancel
If MyPerfectCV fails to cancel your account or denies a refund claim you believe is legitimate, escalate through these channels:
- Competition Bureau of Canada - investigates deceptive marketing, false billing claims, and misleading auto-renewal disclosure
- Your provincial consumer protection authority - examples include Ontario's Consumer Protection Act enforcement team or British Columbia's Consumer Protection Office, which handle unfair contract terms and billing disputes
- Your payment processor's dispute resolution team - if you paid via Paddle, Apple Pay, Google Play, or a credit card, your processor offers chargeback and dispute mechanisms independent of MyPerfectCV
- Your bank or credit card issuer - can reverse charges or initiate disputes if you report unauthorized or disputed transactions
Methods to cancel MyPerfectCV
MyPerfectCV provides multiple cancellation pathways depending on how you created and pay for your account.
Cancellation through your MyPerfectCV account dashboard
The primary cancellation method is through your account settings online.
- Log in to your MyPerfectCV account using your registered email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page and reset it via email.
- If you cannot access your email account, contact MyPerfectCV support immediately to verify your identity before proceeding.
- Navigate to "Account Settings," "Subscription," or "Billing" (exact menu names vary by account type and interface version).
- Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription" button.
- Some versions display subscription status on the dashboard homepage; click directly on the renewal date or plan name.
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" or equivalent button.
- Read the confirmation dialog carefully. MyPerfectCV may offer a retention discount; accept only if you intend to keep the subscription.
- Do not accept a retention offer simply to avoid cancellation; you are exercising your right to cancel.
- Confirm the cancellation and request a confirmation email.
- MyPerfectCV must send you a written acknowledgment (email) that your subscription has been cancelled.
- Save this email and any cancellation reference number for your records.
- Check your next billing cycle.
- Verify on your bank or credit card statement that no charge appears on your next renewal date.
- If a charge does appear after cancellation, contact MyPerfectCV support with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Cancellation via payment platform (if you subscribed through a third party)
If you subscribed to MyPerfectCV through Apple, Google Play, or another app store or payment processor, you must cancel through that platform, not through MyPerfectCV directly.
- Identify which payment platform charged you (check your bank statement or email receipt).
- Look for "Apple," "Google," "Paddle," or the payment processor's name on your statement.
- Access that platform's account settings or subscription management portal.
- Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > MyPerfectCV > Cancel Subscription
- Google Play: Play Store > Account > Subscriptions > MyPerfectCV > Cancel
- Paddle or other processor: Log into your account on that processor's website and manage subscriptions directly.
- Confirm the cancellation through that platform and save the confirmation.
- Request a confirmation email if available.
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation for your records.
- Monitor your next renewal date on both the payment platform and your bank statement to ensure no charge occurs.
- If you see a charge, dispute it with the payment platform first; they have leverage over MyPerfectCV.
Cancellation by email or registered mail (if online method fails)
If you cannot access your account or the online cancellation fails, you may cancel by formal written notice.
- Prepare a cancellation email or letter with the following information:
- Your full name and registered email address
- Your account username or subscription ID
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (recommend "immediately" or specify the next billing date)
- A brief reason for cancellation (optional but recommended)
- Your preferred method of confirmation (email)
- Send the cancellation request via email to MyPerfectCV's customer support address.
- Use a method that provides a delivery receipt or read receipt (e.g., registered email through Canada Post).
- Keep the sent email in your records.
- If MyPerfectCV does not respond within 5 business days, send the cancellation request via registered mail (with return receipt) to the company's corporate address in Canada.
- Send to: MyPerfectCV's registered office address (verify via the company's website or corporate registry).
- Retain the registered mail receipt and tracking number as proof of delivery.
- Follow up in writing after 10 business days if you have not received cancellation confirmation.
- Reference your original email or registered mail date and tracking number.
- Escalate to the Competition Bureau or your provincial consumer authority if MyPerfectCV ignores this follow-up.
Timeline and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you know when to monitor your account and billing.
Immediate steps after you submit your cancellation
Once you click "Cancel" or send your cancellation email, MyPerfectCV should process your request within 24 to 48 hours. During this period, you may still have access to the service. This is normal and not a sign that your cancellation failed. Yafee recommends you use this time to download or save any documents, CVs, or profile data you wish to keep, as your access may be revoked after the cancellation window closes.
What happens on your next renewal date
If you cancelled during a trial period, no charge should occur on the trial conversion date (typically day 14 or 15). If you cancelled during a paid subscription, no charge should occur on your next scheduled billing date. Check your bank or credit card statement 2 to 3 days after the renewal date to confirm that no charge was processed. If a charge appears despite cancellation, contact your bank or payment processor immediately to dispute it.
Access and data after cancellation
MyPerfectCV typically allows you to download your CVs or resume templates before your account is closed. You may lose access to editing features immediately after cancellation, but the company should provide a grace period (usually 24 to 48 hours) to retrieve your documents. If you need to access your documents after losing login credentials, contact MyPerfectCV support with your cancellation confirmation email as proof of account ownership.
Refund eligibility and how to claim a refund
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and the company's stated refund policy.
MyPerfectCV's 14-day satisfaction guarantee
MyPerfectCV offers a voluntary 14-day refund guarantee for trial conversions and new subscriptions. This means if you cancel within 14 days of your initial charge and have not accessed substantial features of the service, you may request a full refund of your payment. Yafee advises you to claim this refund in writing within the 14-day window if you are eligible. Send a refund request email to MyPerfectCV's support team that includes your order number, the date of your charge, and a clear statement that you are requesting a refund under the 14-day guarantee.
Refunds after 14 days
Once the 14-day period expires, MyPerfectCV is under no obligation to provide a refund unless you can demonstrate a service failure, billing error, or unauthorized charge. If you cancel after day 14, your subscription is terminated immediately, but no refund of prior charges is issued. Your next scheduled charge is prevented, which is the primary benefit of cancelling. If you believe a charge was unauthorized or erroneous, you may dispute it through your bank or payment processor, which has stronger investigative powers than MyPerfectCV's internal support team.
How to submit a refund request
- Send a formal email to MyPerfectCV support with the subject line "Refund Request - [Your Account Email]."
- Include your name, account email, and subscription ID.
- State the date and amount of the charge you wish to refund.
- Confirm that you are within the 14-day refund window or explain why you believe a charge was unauthorized.
- Request a response within 5 business days.
- Keep a copy of your refund email in your records.
- MyPerfectCV must respond to your refund request and either process the refund or explain why it cannot.
- If MyPerfectCV denies your refund claim, contact your payment processor or bank to dispute the charge.
- Provide your payment processor with evidence of the original charge, your cancellation confirmation, and MyPerfectCV's refusal email (if applicable).
- Your payment processor can reverse the charge if they determine it was made without proper authorization or under misleading terms.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can lead to unexpected charges or lost refunds. You can avoid all of these mistakes by following the Yafee steps above and remaining organized.
Assuming your trial has ended when it has not
Many users believe their trial has ended when they receive a "your trial is ending soon" email, and they fail to cancel. Read the email carefully: it states the exact date the trial converts to a paid plan (usually day 14 or 15). If that date has not arrived, your trial is still active and you can still cancel. Cancel before the stated conversion date, not after.
Cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, cancelling through MyPerfectCV's website does not stop the recurring charge. Your payment method is linked to Apple or Google, not to MyPerfectCV. You must cancel through the app store or payment processor that charged you. Check your receipt or bank statement to identify the correct platform.
Failing to save your cancellation confirmation
MyPerfectCV should send you a cancellation confirmation email. If you do not receive one within 24 hours, email the company again and request explicit confirmation. Save this email in a dedicated folder for your records. If a disputed charge appears later, this confirmation is your strongest evidence that you cancelled in good faith.
Not verifying that your next charge was blocked
After you cancel, mark your calendar for your next scheduled renewal date. On that date plus 2 to 3 days, check your bank or credit card statement to confirm that no charge appeared. If a charge did appear, you have evidence of a billing error and can dispute it immediately with your bank. Do not wait weeks to discover the mistake.
Accepting a retention offer as an alternative to cancellation
MyPerfectCV may offer you a discount or free month to keep your subscription. If you have decided to cancel, do not be swayed by this offer unless you genuinely want to continue using the service at the discounted rate. Accepting an offer to "avoid" cancellation keeps you enrolled and subject to future auto-renewal charges.
After cancellation: what you need to know
Your cancellation is complete, but a few final steps ensure your account is fully closed and protected.
Confirming that your subscription is cancelled
Log back into your MyPerfectCV account (if access is still available) and verify that your subscription status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive." If you can still see an active renewal date or a "renews on" message, contact support and provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence that cancellation was requested.
Monitoring your billing statements
For the next two to three billing cycles, review your bank and credit card statements to confirm that no charges from MyPerfectCV appear. If you spot a charge after cancellation, gather your cancellation confirmation email and dispute the charge with your bank immediately. Your bank can reverse unauthorized or disputed charges within a specific timeframe (typically 60 to 120 days, depending on your bank), so do not delay.
Keeping your cancellation documentation
Store your cancellation confirmation email, order receipts, and any other correspondence with MyPerfectCV in a dedicated folder or digital filing system. Yafee recommends you retain these documents for at least one year. If MyPerfectCV charges you after cancellation or denies a refund claim, you will have proof of your cancellation request and can escalate to the Competition Bureau or your provincial consumer protection authority with confidence.
