I intend to apply for my PR & open an Express Entry profile. Preferrably Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Worker category.
I have 1 year of work experience under NOC B but two different codes' positions such as Financial Sales Representative & Administrative Assistant combined.

- In 'Education History' section, should I mention my Canadian education only?
Or should I add my Foreign Education also if I don't have ECA?? Back home I only have Grade 10 (O level) certificate & a GED certificate so will ECA count here or not??
- In 'Family' section, I am applying for myself only so I put 1 as answer to how many family members I have.

How much exact amounts of fund I have to show? And does the funds have to be readily available or I can just show paystubs of my income??
Will it depend on the category I am invited under? If under CEC proof of funds are not needed right?

Who does not need proof of funds
You don’t need to show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family if
  • you’re applying under the Canadian Experience Class
Who needs proof of funds
You need proof of funds to meet the minimum requirements of the
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program
- In 'Work History' section, do I need a current job/on-going employment to apply for PR? I lost my job recently so can I still apply mentioning my prior work experience of 1 year?

This alone renders you ineligible for FSW. If your experience is not in Canada that is also within the last three years, you are ineligible for CEC either.

Add everything post high school. When you apply you only need ECA for your highest degree. If it happens to be your Canadian degree, then you don't need ECA.

Since you can only apply for CEC (I assume), you don't need POF. As a side note, you need $13310 currently if you are applying for FSW.

- My job experiences that I combined are both 'In Canada' therefore, I stand eligible for both CEC & FSW. But just in case if I'm invited under FSW I have show POF somehow? Could the Paystubs work or I have to show that much funds readily avaialble in my bank??

-And like you said I need $13310 currently for FSW. So what amount should I put if applying under CEC??

Thank you so much for answering. :)

You said you have one year work experience, in 2 NOC codes, right? This means you are not eligible for FSW.

In order to be qualified for FSW, you need to have at least one year, continuous, paid, full time equivalent work experience, under one NOC.

Both my jobs are under same NOC - B & Teer 3, just two different position codes:

63102
Financial sales representatives

13110
Administrative assistants
Am I still not eligible for FSW as both are under same NOC - B??

I do intend to apply under CEC, so what amount should I put in the POF sections??

You are not eligible for FSW unless one of those NOCs you have one year of full-time, continious skilled work experience.
