I am currently preparing to apply for Express Entry and I am trying to better understand how the category-based selection for trade occupations works in relation to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).
Specifically, I would like to ask:
→ Is it possible to be considered under the Trade Occupations category in Express Entry while having a different primary occupation listed in my FSWP application?
For example, I currently do not yet have one full year of work experience as an electrician. However, I do have 6 months of Canadian work experience as a electrician (a trade occupation), and 2 years of foreign work experience as a research assistant (which would likely be my primary occupation under FSWP to meet the one-year experience requirement).
Based on this situation, would I still be eligible to receive an invitation through the Trade Occupations category in Express Entry, despite having a different primary occupation listed in my profile?
I have reviewed the information provided here, but I couldn’t find a clear answer:

I would greatly appreciate any clarification you can provide.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
