Your question indicates that you need to read some basic information first.

Read the "Express Entry in a Nutshell" thread at the top of this page.

Also start reading the IRCC website.

Both what? There are 3 programs under Express Entry - FSW, CEC, FST...

If you receive an invitation to apply, it will tell you which program to apply to. If you are eligible for CEC and FSW, the default is CEC...

read the website, the express entry is not an immigration program.
