you must meet all requirements for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class at the time you create an Express Entry profile.
You must:
plan to live outside the province of Quebec,
have at least one year of full-time (or equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada within the last three years before you apply (academic internships, co-op placements and part-time work during your studies do not count),
have gained your experience in Canada with the proper work authorization,
meet the required language levels needed for the National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill level of your job for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing, and listening) and
create a profile on the Express Entry system.
