Is Work Experience needed for Express Entry?

[duytuanbme]

Long story short. I completed my Canadian Degree, obtained the required CLB band. I had no work experience before I moved to Canada. That being said, my CRS score is still above the cut-off.

I am just wondering, is Work Experience needed for my case? Can I just state "No" in the Work History section?

Thank you.

Even if CRS is more you need to have atleast one year continuous work experience in case of FSW or 1560 hours in case of CEC. This is one of the eligibility criteria for EE profile

You have to qualify under a certain program (FSW, CEC, or PNP) to become PR. CRS score only determines whether you get an ITA or not.
