minimum work experience for express entry

[ai1080]

Hello,

I am quite confused about whether there is a requirement for 1 year continuous work experience required to apply for express entry ?

I have a masters degree from Toronto, and according to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp, my score is around 450, which is above the recent cut-offs. For the purpose of filling this form, I filled the option stating zero or less than one year of work experience.

However, according to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=675&top=29, less than one year of (continuous?) work experience does not qualify to apply for PR.

Kindly clarify.

Thanks,
Arun

No. Am I eligible for any non-express entry route, such as provincial nomination in Ontario since I have a masters degree from Toronto ?

U don’t even need to see crs calculator if u don’t have 1 year of countinuous federal or 1 year cumulative Canadian experience. Irrespective of your score u don’t qualify. Try going thru oinp route
