Hi,I am a refugee claimant and I am waiting for my hearing.I have also started working in Canada on open work permit and my job related to field.I just want to know that is it possible that I could also apply for express entry or some other immigration program so that I can get Permanent Residency quickly.Please guide me.

Thanks,
 
I know that Canadian Experience Class is not an option for you. Normally those with one year of Canadian work experience can apply under CEC. However since you've applied as a refugee, your work experience in Canada is not counted and you don't qualify to apply under this program.

I believe you can create an Express Entry profile. However I'm not sure if you will get any points for your work experience in Canada. Before you can create an Express Entry profile, you'll need to take a language test and also have your education officially assessed by WES or another agency.
