1 YEAR MASTERS IN CANADA (is it worth it) - does it count on express entry

[MMA15]

I'm planning to study a 1-year masters program in one of the Atlantic provinces, I would like to know does it count on express entry or do they need minimum 2 years? Also, is a 1-years masters any good for the job market there?

It counts as a Masters. Can’t tell you about jobs as you need to show job opportunities in home country to get permit. A masters isn’t going to get you a job unless you have excellent work experience or if in a highly skilled area. You don’t have Canadian experience so don’t expect much.
