Eligibility depends on the specific program under Express Entry. For the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program, applicants need at least one year of skilled work experience, a minimum language proficiency score, and recognized educational credentials. The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) is for individuals with skilled work experience in Canada, often on a work permit. The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is designed for applicants with experience in a skilled trade, supported by a Canadian job offer or certification. All applicants must demonstrate financial stability (unless already working in Canada), have no criminal record, and meet medical requirements. Ultimately, selection depends on CRS score, eligibility, and compliance with immigration rules.
