Eligibility to work in Canada under EE profile

[manabasha]

Hi All,

I applied for Express Entry as Skilled Worker, and currently I’m searching for a job.
Most jobs ask if I’m eligible to work or enter Canada.
Can I answer yes, as I have an Express Entry profile in the pool, and waiting for a job offer (if I’m accepted), as this will be used in EE to add 600 points, and so be eligible and enter.

Thanks.

You cannot say to an employer that you are eligible to work in Canada as your application has not even been approved yet so currently you cannot work in Canada. Answering yes you would be misrepresenting yourself to any employer so all you can do is say you have a PR application pending
