Hello friends,
I'm gathering some info about the express entry and I want to confirm something.
In order to enter the express entry pool, all I need is to qualify for one of the immigration processes, right? For example, if my education level is high school I won't qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker, but if I work full-time in canada for 1 year I will be eligible for the canadian experience class, right? Then if I get a job offer I can enter the pool and get an ITA(if my score is high enough)?

Thanks

Well.... for either FSW or CEC, the work experience has to be classified as "skilled" (level O, A, or B on the National Occupational Classification - NOC) -

If you get (A) a full-time permanent job offer that is (B) confirmed by an LMIA, then you would have a high enough score... not easy to do, tho.
