Hello,

I am an international student who is currently not enrolled at the University (I was de-registered a while back), I have an IELTS band of 8.0 with a bachelors and masters degree in Science with some foreign work experience (1 year). Can I apply for express entry under FSW? If yes do I need to mention in my application the reason why I wasn't attending university etc?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

"Can I apply for express entry under FSW?"

Yes, assuming your foreign experience was full time (30 hours or more) and continuous.

"If yes do I need to mention in my application the reason why I wasn't attending university etc?"

As long as you have legal status in Canada, this shouldn't be relevant. That said, I suppose it couldn't hurt to mention said reason in a letter of explanation. If your status in Canada is tied to you being enrolled in school, however, you might have problems.
