Yes - you can apply for Express Entry now.
Be careful when dealing with agencies. Most are scams.

My future employer was the one who got the assistance of the agency, same agency who helped him process the LMIA.
Should the details in my work permit exactly be the same as that in my express entry? In my work permit, under the question 'how many funds in canadian dollar do I have', I answered 2500cad since the agency said that available funds is not really a requirement for a work permit but it will be used only as a bonus point. In my express entry app, I need to have at least 19400CAD to be eligible for PR app since I have two children.

My pr app is still on process. According to an agent I talked to, since I am already in Canada, I don't have to submit another biometric, although I am still not sure about it. Will order gcms note for me to know the real status of my application.
I just got a reply from IRCC and it says biometrics is required for me and my dependent. Permanent residence applicants must submit biometrics in each application regardless of possible previous biometrics on file.
Yes, last Oct 19. And I received the BIL last Nov 5 and my deadline will be on dec 6.
hi @krstn29 , It might be a late question as I am not sure if you will reply again or not. Does the NOC code in your work permit and NOC code is your PR is the same?
I have the same case as yours, my employer get an agency to process my work permit but at the same time I would like also to apply for my PR application, can you give any advice?

Yes, they are the same. All the data declared in your work permit should match the data in your pr app since you'll be using one UCI or unique client identifier.
