Misconception #1: Anybody can enter the Express Entry pool.
Truth: Candidates eligible to immigrate to Canada under a federal economic immigration program may enter the pool.
A common misconception regarding Express Entry is the mistaken belief that anybody who makes an expression of interest in immigrating to Canada may enter the Express Entry pool. This is not the case. A candidate must be eligible for one of Canada's existing federal economic immigration programs in order to enter the pool. These programs are:
1) The Federal Skilled Worker Program. Candidates eligible under this program must have work experience in a skilled occupation and reach a certain points threshold based on their human capital factors. Find out whether your occupation is skilled using the CanadaVisa Skilled Occupation Classifier on the CRS Calculator.
2) The Federal Skilled Trades Program. Candidates eligible under this program must have two years of qualified work experience in a skilled trade in the last five years.
3)The Canadian Experience Class. Candidates eligible under this program must have at least one year of skilled, professional or technical work experience in Canada within the last 36 months.
