You need to work for a full-year (assuming full time work experience) in order to be eligible under the CEC program.

You are eligible for Express entry as long as you are doing it as a full time job and has 1560 hours(I believe) in total. Iw as on a contract for a year at NOC A 2174/2175. then they ended up hiring me permanently I was bale to create my EE profile based on the year I worked on contract.
