I understand that background check is mostly criminal check to make sure that people did not commit a crime etc.
My question is, when is education and work experience verified? Does this happen during eligibility or during the background check?
Thank you!

Your MEC is assessed during eligibility. Read this to understand MEC: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/assessing-electronic-application-on-section-a11-2.html
