You need job experience in your field and likely a second degree to qualify for immigration.
so having experience in a field I didn't qualify for doesn't count as experience for instance I have a degree in psychology but I have been working as a cashier for two years now. am I supposed to first work in a psychology related environment to qualify?

No. Your job is experience is cashier and could be NOC C or D so not eligible. When you immigrate to Canada, you do whatever job you want. You can’t work in your field because you would need a Master or PhD.

I can't afford attaining a masters right now and I can't change careers either simply because the employment rate in Uganda sucks. I really do want to have a masters in psychology from Canada but I can't pay for it so I was hoping if I get to migrate get a job work through the system I would maybe secure a scholarship or something or even pay for it so bottom line is I want to know what my options are should I cross out the experience I have as a cashier and make it seems like I have no work experience at all. I have been through all other programs and I think express entry or provincial nomination are my best shot .what do I do

To be eligible to enter the pool for Express Entry, you need 67 points. For work experience, you need one year continious skilled work experience in a NOC A, B or 0 job. A cashier may be NOC C or D. Do you have any skilled work experience. If not you are not eligible for Express Entry.

is it possible to apply for a job in Canada from this side
It is possible but difficult. You need a job offer and then employer must pay $1000 and file for the LMIA. The employer has to prove no Canadian or PR could be hired or has the right skills, only you. It takes months to process and then with a LMIA, you apply for a closed work permit. Again, it takes months. Few employers go through the process.
