Here is what i got as I do not have canadian work experience or second language test.

Express Entry

Based on your answers, you do not appear to be eligible for Express Entry

Other ways to immigrate
You can try the Come to Canada wizard, if you think you may be eligible under another federal immigration program.
If you are still interested in coming to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you can take steps to improve your eligibility and apply for Express Entry at a later date. For example, you may try to improve your language score or gain a higher level of education.
You may also consider applying directly to provinces and territories through the Provincial Nominee Program.

However, you can still complete an Express Entry profile.
To be accepted into the pool, you must first demonstrate that you meet the minimum criteria for Express Entry.

1. For WES you need to get your ECA for post secondary qualifications ie. diploma, degree, masters etc
2. Yes ECA through WES is mandatory for spouse if you want these points to be added.

But I have some questions, I have CLB over 7, WES report done , Canadian study 2 years and also age. But, canadian work experience less than 1 year and back home work experience less than 1 year is this factor causing
ineligibility in my case?
Any answers or suggestions greatly appreciated.
