This is interesting. "Researchers applying for grants from Canada's three main federal funding agencies will soon have cause for celebration: the unpopular Canadian Common CV is being phased out in favour of a new narrative CV.... called the Tri-Agency CV, is a maximum of five pages (six in French) divided into six sections." The new format is focused much more on narrative than data, with a focus on things like your 'personal statement' and your 'most significant contributions'. I'm still not a fan of requiring people to fill out a form on a centralized website, but at least it's a bit of movement in the right direction.
