CEC eligibility after leaving Canada and moving to US

[aninanda]

Hey there , I filed an Express entry application to apply under CEC. My score is 499.

However there hasnt been a CEC draw since mid-Sep and from the looks of it, there doesnt appear to be one to be happening this year.

Unfortunately my company is asking me to relocate to the US under H1B from January.

My question is:

If I leave Canada after working here for 1.3 years, then when the next CEC draw comes out next year, am I still eligible for CEC?

Any advice is appreciated

You are still eligible if you have at least 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada, in the last 3 years before you apply.
