How many points required to be Eligible for EOI?
You must qualify for one of the three programs (FSW,FSTP and CEC) by CIC
to qualify for EXPRESS ENTRY
otherwise you are not eligible
 
So as per my understanding All things are same just they add Job offer and Provisional nominee part just like in case of Australia.

If your profession in the list of the skill shortage list I think you can apply for FSW.

By the way.
